package: Add extra Provides to the kernel rpm package

It's a useful property for kernel rpms produced from the kernel source
tree to behave somewhat as drop-in replacements for the kernel rpms
shipped by distributions. For example, when building Linux OS images,
this allows replacing the distribution kernel rpm packages with kernel
rpm packages produced from the kernel source tree without having to modify
the OS image recipes. Instead, by just adding an extra repository containing
the kernel rpms built from the kernel source tree, the OS image build process
will prefer these rpms over the distribution ones if they're of a newer version.

To make this work, let's add various extra Provides to the kernel
rpm spec so that it provides more of the common kernel rpm package names
used by the CentOS/Fedora distribution kernel rpm packages.
