The previous bin_package description was confusing: it would instruct to
use the git fetcher to extract the content of an RPM package using the
`subpath` option - but that's not possible as the git fetcher can be
used to clone a repository but not to do the extraction.
Update the description by telling what it really does and what it
doesn't do, and by giving an HTTPS+RPM example.

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are"
by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural.
In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx"
by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at
the end of the sentence.
In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when
it's redundant with the preceding title.
