GitHub Action - Build RPM Package

This GitHub Action builds RPM files by using a specfile and an archive artifact, usually created during a preceeding build step. Outputs allow RPM files to be uploaded as an Artifact (actions/upload-artifact) or as a Release Asset (actions/upload-release-asset).

Usage
