[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Store built binary rpms info in source rpm (#642)

[Panu Matilainen]

Originally requested at http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-ecosystem/2019-March/000717.html by Pat Riehecky, copied here verbatim:

```
Would it make sense for a source rpm to have a generated 'Provides:' for any %package defined within the spec?

For example (actual syntax to be determined by folks smarter than myself):

$ rpm -qp --provides man-db-2.8.4-4.fc30.src.rpm
rpmbuild(man-db)
rpmbuild(man-db-cron)
$

I'd expect it to 'provide' all the %packages (even ones masked for your specific arch so that we don't deal with executing macros at query and whatnot). 
```

The actual syntax would likely be different but the request is perfectly reasonable: we store the dependencies and all sorts of other information of that particular build into the src.rpm as it is, why not include the generated packages too (which can also vary a lot between builds).
