Another regression found:
Convenient public macro %apply_patch removed without warning
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1954999
An intentional change does not classify as a regression in my books.
The macro always was just an internal helper and intentionally entirely
undocumented, just mistakenly lacking the preceding undrescores (but
then neither of those ever stopped people from using "stuff").
We can make the change more visible, and we can consider temporary
patches in Fedora, but %apply_patch is not an interface we want to support.
