Enable scl mode for anvil

Registered by Pranesh

One use case is that openstack packages (and their deps) be in pythonX, but system python is python Y (Y!=X). A way to do this is to use software collections (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Software_Collections/).

Building an rpm for use in software collections is slightly different, so anvil has to do a bunch of steps for this. The way I envision this is:
1. smithy takes an extra flag at bootstrap step and intsalls packages needed for scl builds
2. py2rpm needs to know to generate rpms for scl
3. Top level rpmspecs must be configurable (scl vs traditional spec)
