fillup-templates list

As discussed on the opensuse-packaging list there are significant problems with
fillup-templates being located in /var/adm

https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2017-11/msg00017.html

At time of writing, rpm in Tumbleweed now has support for a new rpm macro
(%_fillupdir) which should be used instead to relocate the fillup templates to
the new location of /usr/share/fillup-templates

https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=openSUSE:Packaging_Conventions_RPM_Macros#.25_fillupdir#

Any unchanged packages should be okay, as the rpm package's other macros that
consume fillup-templates support both the old and new path.

However to enable us to tidy up the /var subvolumes in all *SUSE distributions
we to change all the packages to use the new path

There are over 200 packages in Factory that currently use the old convention
(List attached)

I am working initially on the packages needed by CaaSP/Kubic, with my intention
being to either do the rest soon after or ask the community to help with the
rest.

This bug is therefore a reference for all of these efforts
