Enhancement

Let's see whether this works. We should get the nightly repo built after merge, and the stable repo after the next release. |

Note to self: docker run -it --entrypoint sh mono:latest |

OK, I guess... |

Motivation
Currently we provide
.rpmpackages, but somewhat ironically (given what CKAN is for), the user must download a new.rpmfile and install it manually when a new version is released.See #3197 for when we did this for APT/deb, and #2757 for when we started making RPMs.
Changes
Now a new
./build rpm-repocommand creates a_build/rpm/repofolder containing the.rpmfile (signed with our GPG key) and the additional metadata files needed to host an RPM repo. Just like we did with APT, the test builds (odd build number in version) go into anightlyrepo, and the releases go into astablerepo.I followed these instructions:
User instructions will be in doc/rpm-repo.md.
Using this (with some hacks to work around the servers and GPG keys being different), I was able to use the GNOME Software app to upgrade my 3-year-old Fedora VM from CKAN v1.26.3 to v1.31.0.
