[OE-core][PATCH] package_rpm: proposal to use internal dependency generator

[OE-core][PATCH] package_rpm: proposal to use internal dependency generator

[Xiangyu Chen]

From: Xiangyu Chen <xiangyu.chen@windriver.com>

Currently we are using external dependency generator, the rpm upstream already
marked it as "Old Style Dependency Generators"[1], they also added a warning message
in rpm source code to inform that the external dependency generator is deprecated[2].

Since it is only kept for backwards compatibility and may get removed in a future
release of rpm, so here is a proposal to use internal dependency generator by default.

This will not work since we have some significant use of the external
dependency generation elsewhere in the codebase. I'd also not that
message was from 2016, so probably not urgent at this point.

Cheers,
