Daan De Meyer a95f14a72e Replace inplace macro with upstream macro
Currently, the inplace macro only influences whether we use
tools/meson-vcs-tag.sh to figure out the version instead of using
the predefined one. But doing an inplace build shouldn't really
affect the version, since it's possible to do an inplace builds that's
not a git main upstream build, so the two concepts are disjoint.

Instead, let's replace the "inplace" macro with an "upstream" macro
to indicate that we're building from systemd git upstream. Aside from
influencing the version, this also disables various patches and adds
a libarchive dependency that was added upstream recently but isn't in
an official release yet.

Building systemd rpms for local development using rpmbuild --build-in-place

This approach is based on filbranden's git-rpmbuild and his talk during ASG2019.

git clone https://github.com/systemd/systemd
fedpkg clone systemd fedora-systemd
cd systemd
rpmbuild -bb --build-in-place --noprep --define "_sourcedir $PWD/../fedora-systemd" --define "_rpmdir $PWD/rpms" --with upstream ../fedora-systemd/systemd.spec
sudo dnf upgrade --setopt install_weak_deps=False rpms/*/*.rpm

--without lto and --without tests may be useful to speed up the build.
