If suse contributes their spec file I think we could delete the top
level rdma-core.spec

There are enough differences in the suse spec file I suspect it would
be more maintainable to have it separate.

We still have to test the builds against that configuration anyhow, I
dont see a big burden there - so long as cbuild can run an appropriate
suse build (opensuse is OK for testing?)..
