[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpm --whatrequires does not resolve provides (#1426)

[mikhailnov]

There is a package which requires "java-devel":
```
$ rpm -qR wildfly | grep ^java
java-devel >= 1:1.7
```

The package which provides it is the following:
```
$ rpm -q --whatprovides java-devel
java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.252.b02-0.0.ea.x86_64
```

Now I want to find out why `java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel` was installed and make a query:
```
$ rpm -q --whatrequires java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
no package requires java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
```

But:
```
$ rpm -q --whatrequires java-devel
wildfly-10.1.0-14.noarch
```

I expected to see `wildfly` in the output of `rpm -q --whatrequires java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel`. Is it a bug or a feature?

RPM is 4.16.0:
```
user at ROSA-Nickel ~ $ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.16.0-6.x86_64
```
