[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Enhance requires with version information from the build root. (PR #2372)

[Panu Matilainen]

> One thing that comes to mind is that while the Provides: change would be backward compatible, the Requires: change would not. New packages would be generated with Requirements that existing packages wouldn't satisfy, which would require a "rebuild the world" deployment that obsoletes most existing rpm packages. I'm sure there will be push-back against that.

That's the annoying thing with any dependency improvements, you need to do them in phases - provides pre-populated preferably on a mass-rebuild and only then enable the require-side. So there will need to be some kind of disable/enable control for the thing.
