FR : soname should be identical for better packaging #1621

Description

@asy972

After the package is built, the following libraries are obtained (for 1.4.3 at this case):

usr/lib64:
libclamav.so.12 -> libclamav.so.12.0.3
libclamav.so.12.0.3
libclammspack.so.0 -> libclammspack.so.0.8.0
libclammspack.so.0.8.0
libclamunrar_iface.so.12 -> libclamunrar_iface.so.12.0.3
libclamunrar_iface.so.12.0.3
libclamunrar.so.12 -> libclamunrar.so.12.0.3
libclamunrar.so.12.0.3
libfreshclam.so.3 -> libfreshclam.so.3.0.2
libfreshclam.so.3.0.2

Some software in distributions is built with ClamAV libraries. However, not all software can be rebuilt at the same time, and it may be necessary to use software that is built with the old version of the library. It is not possible to put two "libclamav%soname" packages because some libraries have the same names if libclamav isn't splitted to more finely parts.

How would you like all libraries to have the same soname with libclamav.so?
