[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: rpmbuild --root should undertake similar operations to rpm --root running scripts (#510)

rpmbuild --root should do what is expected, namely do a chroot into the prefix before running scripts. Yes chroot(2) requires root, thank you POSIX. To preserve the mantra "Never invoke rpmbuild as root" behavior, rpmbuild should drop root privileges, and switch back to root only when needed.
