Hi list,

the recent mimalloc update from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5 has brought a subtle, yet 
consequential, soname change (or rather addition) that affects the package's 
`Provides:` list.

mimalloc-2.0.3-1 contains the library file
* `/usr/lib64/libmimalloc.so.2.0`
... and thus provides:
* `libmimalloc.so.2.0()(64bit)`
* `mimalloc`
* `mimalloc(x86-64)`

mimalloc-2.0.5-1 contains the library files
* `/usr/lib64/libmimalloc.so.2`
* `/usr/lib64/libmimalloc.so.2.0`
... and thus provides:
* `libmimalloc.so.2()(64bit)`
* `mimalloc`
* `mimalloc(x86-64)`

The changed `Provides:` list causes install failures for mold:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2055074
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2055056

No need to worry about it too much, though - since mold appears to be the only 
Fedora package that has a dependency on mimalloc, I'll just trigger a rebuild.

Best,
Christoph
