Description
See: https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues/1439 and https://github.com/elementary/houston/issues/803 for context.
## Problem
A package might change its RDNN and need to claim it `provides` a previous package RDNN. Right now, we'll just show duplicate apps.
## Proposal
We should probably parse `provides` and not show any apps that are provided by newer apps.
