buildrpm.sh no longer respects the value of rpmtopdir

In OMPI 2.1.2, buildrpm.sh could work with a value of rpmtopdir that was
set in the environment. In newer versions this is no longer true,
causing such values to be ignored. This patch adds a new argument to
buildrpm.sh, -R, which allows the user to specify where to build the
RPMs.
