This is done to avoid troubles with %lang files listed as duplicated.
1. It gets rid of a warning
2. It fixes a problem described in:
http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-list/2020-November/002041.html
This is a backwards incompatible change,
packages that rename or remove the installed files after %pyproject_install
might no longer be compatible with %pyproject_save_files.
According to PEP 627, the RECORD file is optional and
doesn't make sense to keep it for system packages. Moreover,
its absence should indicate to other tools like pip that
they should not touch such packages.
Now, we process content of all RECORD files to one
pyproject-record (JSON) which is then used in
%pyproject_save_files. That way, we can remove the original
files in %pyproject_install and keep their content for
later.

This macro save generates file section to %pyproject_files. It should
simplify %files section and allow to build by some automatic machinery
Supposed use case in Fedora:
%install
%pyproject_install
%pyproject_save_files requests _requests
%files -n python3-requests -f %{pyproject_files}
%doc README.rst
%license LICENSE
Automatic build of arbitrary packages (e.g. in Copr):
%install
%pyproject_install
%pyproject_save_files * +bindir // save all modules with executables
%files -n python3-requests -f %{pyproject_files}
