Hi,

Here are proposed @PROVIDES value for eclasses.

@PROVIDES is the new eclassdoc key that indicates that the eclass
indirectly provides API of another eclasses, i.e. if X has @PROVIDES
on Y, then you don't have to inherit Y explicitly when using X.

For example, python-r1 eclasses all provide python-utils-r1 since you
never have to inherit it when using python-r1 eclasses, and distutils-r1 provides python-r1 or python-single-r1. @PROVIDES are processed
recursively, i.e. you don't need to list indirectly provided eclasses.

I've assembled the list by running `pkgcheck scan -c InheritsCheck`
until it didn't seem to list any obvious false positives. However,
eclass maintainers probably know better which eclasses should be
provided indirectly, so please review.

Please drop this patch. meson.eclass does not use ninja-utils since 5974284d8cb3c2b6d3dab3ad83c2f270db3b0798, and we certainly don't want
to implicitly provide it to consumers.

We should probably remove the ninja-utils inherit from meson.eclass instead.
