package_rpm: Add optional improved directory handling

During spec generation, ideally directories should not be auto
packaged under the %file section of rpm packages but take ownership of
specific directories.

* packages only empty directories or explict directory.
   See:
       - http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html
       - "The %dir Directive"

* This will prevent the overlapping of security permission.
   For example, in Tizen the directory /etc have smack label 'System::Shared'
   So Only one package should own and set the label of /etc to prevent
   the overwriting of the smack label.

Existing behaviour is maintained if DIRFILES is not set. If it is set,
the modified behaviour is used. If can be set to an empty value by
core recipes to trigger the modified behaviour.
