RPM build problems

[raf64flo]

Hello,
I've checkout to the latest tag 1.3.0 to try to build a working RPM following the documentation.

I was not able to get a satisfying RPM because I had to make several (unwanted) modifications: (not blaming anyone here ;)

• The README.md deletion is because of a build.sh clean launch
• I replace the -v test by a -n because my shell complained about it. I haven't been able to find what such test could be used for.
• The /usr/lib/libirods_client.a stuff is because I don't have such a file, but I DO have irods-devel package installed.
• The CPU count was bad on my virtualised environment, the pattern processor was present twice: on the expected processor :, but also on the CPU's name (ie. common KVM processor), the replacement fixes the count error.
• You can ignore the $MAKEJCMD comment, it was only to test the script further, as same as the set -x
• On CentOS6, the RPM package is not irods-dev, but irods-devel
• The list template changes are here only because I think I missed smthg during the build process, all .so files have been generated in the current directory instead of a dedicated one.

Few other information... I run onto:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.9 (Final)

The irods development package on CentOS 6 is named irods-devel.

I also had to install several packages:

irods-externals-clang3.8-0
openssl-devel
irods-externals*
boost
boost-devel
rpm-build
gcc-c++
libexif-devel
libxml2-devel
cmake3

I had to clone https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson.git git repo and copy include/rapidjson dir into /usr/include/

I got some error at compilation:

# IRODSVERSION=4.2.2 ./packaging/build.sh > log 2>&1

I don't know how to fix that, I'm not at ease with C++ world.

I may have miss some details, but I've tried to log all so that the compilation be simpler in the future, or for other folks.

Anyway, thanks for the work already done!
