[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: resolve --what<depends> argument to package provides (Issue #2450)

[Panu Matilainen]

A common gotcha with --whatrequires and friends is that people pass a package name and expect in return anything that depends on the package one way or another (as per common sense, and like most versions of repoquery behave), but rpm only returns matches for the passed capability. To return what people expect, we need to resolve the argument name into a package, and then run the original query on all the provides of that package.

There are numerous requests on this from the past, one being https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1393704 (which has links to several older)
