There was a window between the write and the chmod where the user’s
password would be exposed, depending on default permissions.  Philip
Jenvey’s patch fixes it.

These files are created by some NFS clients a file is edited and removed
concurrently (see added link in doc for more info).  If such a file is
removed between distutils calls listdir and copy, it will get confused.
Other special files are ignored in sdist (namely VCS directories), but
this has to be filtered out earlier.

python executable

The __os_install_macro defines some post-processing activities during an rpm
build; one of the scripts it calls is brp-python-bytecompile, which can take
an argument: the python executable with which to byte-compile .py files in the
package payload.

In some older versions of rpm (e.g. in RHEL 6), this invocation doesn't pass
in an argument, and brp-python-bytecompile defaults to using /usr/bin/python,
which can lead to the .py files being byte-compiled for the wrong version of
python.  This has been fixed in later versions of rpm by passing in
%{__python} as an argument to brp-python-bytecompile.

Workaround this by detecting if __os_install_post has a 0-argument invocation
of brp-python-bytecompile, and if so generating an equivalent macro that has
the argument, and explicitly provide the new definition within the specfile.

- Actually check the contents of the file created by bdist_dumb.
- Don’t use “RECORD” as filename for non-PEP 376 record file
- Don’t start method name with “_test”, it looks like a disabled test
  method instead of an helper method
- Fix some idioms (assertIn, addCleanup)
