This allows the same SRPM to be built either in bootstrap or non-bootstrap mode
by passing "--with bootstrap" or "--without bootstrap" to tools like rpmbuild
or mock.

Because this is not necessary and it would be impractical to do so - the build
tool downloads dependencies from network so build script would need to be
heavily patched anyways.

I don't see why copr rpms shouldn't be used. Prebuilt binaries are used only
for the initial bootstrap build and will be removed afterwards. There is FPC
bootstrap exception for antlr4, see https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/517

Minor issue, but I'll fix that.

License files don't need to be installed in antlr4 and antlr4-maven-plugin
packages because both of them depend on antlr4-runtime which includes license
text. antlr4-javadoc doesn't depend on any other antlr4 subpackage and
therefore it installs a separate copy of license text. This is in accordance
with
