Add versioned Provides support

- Add a new dpkg --assert-versioned-provides command.
- Packages can provide a specific version, “virtual (= 1.0)” which will
  be honored, previously it would just be accepted when parsing.
- Non-versioned virtual packages will not satisfy versioned dependencies.
- Versioned virtual packages will satisfy non-versioned dependencies.

This commit is very slightly based on the code reverted in commit
7df7d53a, which was mostly skeletal.

Closes: #7330, #24934, #112131, #134582, #180316
