RPM 6 replaced the monolithic __find_requires/__find_provides scripts
(RPM 4) with per-filetype fileattr dependency generators. Each file type
now has its own macro pair:

  __elf_requires / __elf_provides     (ELF binaries)
  __script_requires                   (shell scripts)
  __pkgconfig_provides                (pkg-config .pc files)
  __desktop_provides                  (freedesktop .desktop files)
  __debuginfo_provides                (debuginfo packages)
  __metainfo_provides                 (AppStream metainfo)
  __ocaml_requires / __ocaml_provides (OCaml modules)
  __rpm_lua_provides                  (Lua RPM macros)
  __rpm_macro_provides                (RPM macro files)
  __usergroup_provides                (user/group entries)

None of these are appropriate for cross-compiled embedded packages:
- ELF deps are target-arch specific and would resolve against wrong
  sysroot libraries
- pkg-config, OCaml, Lua and macro provides are host tooling concepts
  not applicable in an embedded rootfs
- OE already handles its own dependency tracking via perfiledeps scripts

Suppress all of them with %{nil} to restore the RPM 4 behaviour where
OE's perfiledeps scripts have full control over what gets generated.
