Distribution-wide Changes

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.
