rhel: Clarify instructions for RHEL 7.

The rpm build instructions did not clarify what spec files were to be
used for RHEL 7 and its derivatives.  Clarify that you're actually
supposed to use the spec files called "fedora" for RHEL 7 right now.

Update references to Fedora versions to reflect the current release
(23), as neither 16 or 17 are supported releases anymore.
