[Samba] Updated samba 4.16.2 RPM build tools at https://github.com/nkadel/samba4repo

[vincent at cojot.name]

Also, it's in the EPEL8 FAQ and the way to get the missing package in 
RHEL8 is documented there:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#RHEL_8_has_binaries_in_the_release,_but_is_missing_some_corresponding_-devel_package._How_do_I_build_a_package_that_needs_that_missing_-devel_package?

Regards,

Vincent

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars - on stars where no human race is
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.       - Robert Frost
