== Provides tag was moved to langpacks package

This change aims to provide more reliable, predictable, and consistent fonts installation as well as better user experience around font dependencies. To achieve this, the change moves the `Provides: font(:lang=*)` tags into the `langpacks-core-font-*` sub-packages of the `langpacks` package. The sub-packages already obtain the default font, locale and input-method for each language. As a result, whenever a missing glyph font installation is requested, the `langpacks-core-font-<lang>` package will be installed and will get the default font using the existing `Requires:` tag.
