Patch to fix the lib template

According to the packaging guidelines (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package) the devel package of a library should use an arch specific require of the base package that looks like this:

Requires:       %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}

but the rpdevtools template currently skips the arch specific part and uses:

Requires:       %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

Attached is a patch to change this.
