[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines

Here is the latest set of changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines:

---

In Fedora, you can assume that the default shell (/bin/sh) is bash.
Thus, all scriptlets can safely assume that if they are running in shell
code, they are running within bash.

A bundling exception was granted for calibre to bundle their forked
version of pyPdf.

A new set of MinGW guidelines are in place for Fedora 17+. These
guidelines reflect the existence of mingw32 and mingw64.
