See elementary/houston#803 for context

Problem

A package might change its RDNN or otherwise use provides to override a package. Right now we don't do anything with that information

Proposal

AppCenter should be aware of provides and be smarter about a few things:

  • Transition local payment history to the new RDNN
  • Maybe be smarter with not showing duplicate app listings?

Other

Is there potential for abuse here? Should we only support this when the package is coming from a "curated" source, to avoid potentially-malicious sideloads overriding curated apps?
