dnf5 provides [global options] <package-spec-PFB>...

The provides command in DNF5 finds the packages providing the given <package-spec-PFB>.

Outputs which package provides the file /usr/bin/tito
There is no Provides for zless but a package that contains zless exist.

New behavior: if one or more packages are not found by provides DNF5 will now return exit code 1 and list all provides that do not match at the end of the output.
