[OE-core] [PATCH 00/17] Fix update-alternatives and RPM package dependencies

[Mark Hatle]

It was recently noticed that many packages that use update-alternatives were
not setting package level provides.  So a package that required /usr/bin/env
would not be satisfied by coreutils, even though it had a /usr/bin/env
alternative.

The first patch in the series adds the enhanced alternatives capatibilities.

The patches that follow resolve Yocto defect 2289 and use these new
capabilities to ensure the produced packages are correct.

(Note, this only affects RPM packages as they have enhanced dependency
scanning and resolution compared to deb and ipk.)

These patches were tested by running a core-image-minimal build on both
qemux86 and qemumips.  I also ran a core-image-sato on qemux86 and built
each of the items affected manually.  Once build, I verified the install
time scriptlets were correct and each package provided the correct "Provides".

The following changes since commit 03cfc6ea6df9d1fbf5520c9707a725e38d2e377b:
