Patch for 1.5.0: new feature provide and some small fixes

[Uwe Koloska <koloska@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

since I use checkinstall for managing some machines and
replacing packages from the distribution, the packages have to
describe there features through an "Provides" directive.  With
my patch it is possible to replace the package "tcl" and satisfy
all other packages that requires it.

Here are the changes:
- new feature: provided features
   maybe this has to be toggled only for preparation of
   rpm-packages
- don't delete doc-pak and description-pak if they are present
   when running checkinstall
   without this, both are deleted after a default installation of
   checkinstall itself
- small typo: "striping ELF binaries" -> "stripping"

Have fun
Uwe Koloska
