Add Release to Config?

[jimrobinson]

I'd like to suggest the addition of a 'Release' variable to the Config. The conventions for RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora packages distinguish between Version and Release, so you have rpms such as haproxy17u-1.7.11-2.el7.x86_64.rpm where the haproxy version is 1.7.11 but the package build is 2. This is used to distinguish between builds where the source used to build the package hasn't changed but the build procedure has.
