I know how to fix my personal install (and container image).  But I want
to fix the RPM package so that it's fixed for most users.  Right now,
install from RPM is kind of broken.

Here's the changes that need to happen on the RPM:

1. Remove the QT dependencies for pgadmin4-v1-web

2. Have the RPM create /usr/share/httpd/.pgadmin, owned by apache user.
   (is this the best location?  If not, what is?)

3. Fix the systemd unit file so that the pgadmin4 unit is owned by apache.

4. (optional) set up files according to FDL standards, putting configs
for pgadmin4 in /etc/pgadmin and the db in /var/run/pgadmin (or similar).

Devrim, where is the source for this rpm build?
