The problem is that many people do not know that `%var != string` is not valid
syntax. Even Panu used `a!=b` in the test suite. I prefer ripping out the code
because the currently only `[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*` is supported (it's supposed
to match an identifier, but note the missing `_`) and thus it will confuse
people.
If we decide to keep the functionality for backwards compatibility, I'll do a
different patch that also removes TOK_IDENTIFIER but instead directly generates
TOK_STRING without calling rpmExpand().
