Changes/LTO by default for package builds

This is a proposal to enable link time optimization (LTO) of packages built with rpmbuild by default. It's an over-simplification, but think of LTO as deferring analysis, optimization and code generation until creation of an executable or dynamic shared object.

Retire python34

The python34 package will be retired without replacement from Fedora 33. Python 3.4 has been End of Life since March 2019 and was kept around only to test software targeting EPEL 6 and Debian 8 “Jessie”. The removal is aligned with EPEL 6 EOL and happens after the EOL of Debian 8.

glibc 32 Build Adjustments

The glibc32 package is a special package used by gcc and a few other packages to work around the lack of RPM multilib repository support in Koji. It is difficult to maintain, and the current approach raises questions regarding (L)GPL compliance.
