[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Enhance requires with version information from the build root. (PR #4081)

[Gordon Messmer]

This PR is an alternative to #2372 

When generating provides, elfdeps will be given the arguments "--elf-so-version-fallback %{_elf_so_version}". The default for _elf_so_version is the package version. Packagers can define the macro to override the default, in order to support alternative implementations of shared objects. The resulting provided feature will look like, "libhello.so.1()(64bit) = 1.0.1"

When generating requirements, elfdeps will query the rpm db for the package that owns the dependency, and if it provides a feature versioned in the fashion described above, then it will produce a versioned dependency that looks like "libhello.so.1()(64bit) >= 1.0.1"

Unlike #2372 , this feature does not need to be rolled out in stages. Once enabled, new shared objects will begin producing versioned "provides". Dependencies that are generated against older packages, which lack versioned feature information, will not have versioned dependencies. Once versioned features are available, versioned dependencies will be generated.
