Allow a recipe to require a capability, something that multiple packages would be able to provide.

For instance, we could have the following packages:

  • node-10
  • node-12
  • node-18

providing the capability node.

We could have another recipe with the following dependencies:

  • node

Any package listed above will be able to fulfill this.

Questions:

  • How to choose one of them if none is mentioned in the dependency list?
  • Should we provide a "default" declaration?
  • What if we have multiple "defaults"?

This issue is something like the whatprovides capabilty in rpm.
