[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] perl.prov mishandles FatPacked modules (#1106)

Some modules use [Module::FatPack](https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::FatPack) to embed dependencies in a pm file themselves. Functionally, this packs them into HEREDOCs, and expands the code at runtime. I've only seen this so far in [App::cpanminus](https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus), in this file:
https://metacpan.org/source/MIYAGAWA/App-cpanminus-1.7044/lib/App/cpanminus/fatscript.pm

The end result is that perl.prov generates Provides for each packed module, even though it's not actually provided outside the execution of the parent package.
