main/postmarketos-mkinitfs: provide only a virtual package

Administrator requested to merge mkinitfs-provides into master

Fixes 02dfe83c

The previous provides="mkinifs=3.6.0" was a requirement because alpine's kernels had a minimum dependency in mkinitfs>=3.6.0 to make sure that support for compressed modules existed. That requirement is no longer in place[1], since the dependency is now on the initramfs-generator virtual package. Also, since initramfs-generator is a virtual package and not a real package, versioning it might mess up APK. The documentation explicitly states that virtual packages are those with unversioned provides and a provider_priority. So to avoid having problems in the future, let's strictly stick to it.
