[deployments] use provides and software versions to determine if the artifact is already installed

Description

Currently, based on the artifact name, both backend and client decide if the new artifact should be installed or not.
With different types of software it doesn't make much sense.
We should either check versions of particular software or completely remove the check.

: Correct. This is for compatibility with old artifacts before Clears Provides was introduced. They would behave in this way, deleting everything. You can use the mender-artifact --no-default-clears-provides option to test it.

 not sure I understand this part:

does it mean that if the artifact contains

it will be the same as

and all existing provides will be deleted?
