We parse all architectures we encounter recently, which means we also
parse packages from architectures which are neither native nor foreign,
but still came onto the system somehow (usually via heavy force).

Previously we had python:any:amd64, python:any:i386, … in the cache and
the dependencies of an amd64 package would be on python:any:amd64, of an
i386 on python:any:i386 and so on. That seems like a relatively
pointless endeavor given that they will all be provided by the same
packages and therefore also a waste of space.

Now that we deal with provides in a more dynamic fashion the last
remaining problem is explicit dependencies like 'Conflicts: foo' which
have to apply to all architectures, but creating them all at the same
time requires us to know all architectures ending up in the cache which
isn't needed to be the same set as all foreign architectures.
The effect is visible already now through as this prevents the creation
of a bunch of virtual packages for arch:all packages and as such also
many dependencies, just not very visible if you don't look at the stats…

Expecting the worst is easy to code, but has its disadvantages e.g.
by creating package structures which otherwise would have never
existed. By creating the provides instead at the time a package
structure is added we are well prepared for the introduction of partial
architectures, massive amounts of M-A:foreign (and :allowed) and co as
far as provides are concerned at least. We have something relatively
similar for dependencies already.
Many tests are added for both M-A states and the code cleaned to
properly support implicit provides for foreign architectures and
architectures we 'just' happen to parse.
