Use dynamic build requires for Foreman on EL9

[ekohl]

Since Fedora 31 it's possible to use Dynamic BuildRequires. This removes the need to change the spec file all the time to keep in sync with the Foreman repo itself.

Once EL 8 support is dropped, this can be used. Since that's far in the future, I haven't done the same for NPM yet but obviously that's possible too.

In a proper implementation we would have tooling that's usable in all package, like a foreman-packaging RPM with reusable scripts and macros.

[ekohl]

Rebased to resolve a conflict. Since we now have EL 9 builds, it should be possible to verify it works with COPR. Until we drop EL 8, we can't avoid commits like 212285e but at least with packit we'll have correct build requires for EL 9.

I don't quite understand why this is failing.

Technically it's even more correct, because it understands RUBY_VERSION conditionals. Note rss is in there for EL9, and that's because of https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/bbca47389a95e85f71e6a31c6be33c7733bdbed5/Gemfile#L52

I don't quite understand why this is failing.

Because nodejs-packaging is in a module, and we don't enable that in closure.
But also, because it's looking at the SRPM, and we actually don't care about SRPM closure in prod.
