this release brings a new subcommand: magpie fixspec

as you can guess, this command will try to sanitize a spec file a bit.
to use it, you must be in a package checkout, and run it without any
argument.

    $ eval $( magpie co perl-Foo-Bar )
    $ magpie fixspec -v

    # to see the list of options
    $ magpie help fix


among the things done:
- it updates %doc depending on the existing files, including meta files
- it splits multiple bundled build-/requires to have only one per line
- it lines up vertically the summary / etc
- it extracts perl buildrequires from meta.json/meta.yml if present
- it removes buildroot definition
- it removes mdv macros


note that the code is not really clean, it might gain from being in its
own module, with real rpm parsing instead of big regexes. also, it
assumes that we're cleaning a perl module spec file, so you're on your
own if you're using it on other spec file: it might remove the whole
svn, eat your babies, or even convert your rpm database to rpm5. you've
been warned. :-)
