[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] appdata -> metainfo, add support for metainfo files (#98)

[Michael Schroeder]

How about we remove the appdata provides generator from rpm? It's not used anymore anyway. The reason I added it was so I did not need to fetch the complete package filelist, as /usr/share/appdata is not included in primary.xml. That's why the original generator just added some provides for the file names.

It turned out that this approach wasn't very useful, as some packages used pretty much random filenames instead if the ids. So IMHO scrap the thing. Or replace it with some code that parses the xml data.
