Conditionalize python3-devel runtime dependencies on RPM packages

Installing python3-devel currently brings in many RPM-related packages.

For somebody who needs python3-devel to build extension modules,
those are all useless, so we conditionalize it on rpm-build.

(cherry picked from commit e9ba67b74b9849d00cfc8e332b711db142dfd3e3)
