Allow virtuals in package.provided
With new-style virtuals, there is no reason to enforce special rules to
virtuals in package.provided. If user wishes to implicitly provide
the virual package, we should not forbid him. Of course, he knows
the implications.
This is upstream commit e3366b392c76249ead2ef947b275eb5bba99bc1e.
