livepatch: Implement replace set for scoped atomic replace

This commit introduces a more flexible model for livepatch replacement by
adding provides and obsoletes fields, allowing multiple independent 
livepatch sets to coexist on the same system.

[Severity: Medium]
Is there a missing validation check for the provides argument here?

The obsoletes argument below checks for valid integers, but it appears this
assignment accepts any unvalidated string.

[Severity: Medium]
Because the provides argument lacks validation in process_args(), could
this assignment allow shell command injection during the build process if 
un-escaped metacharacters are passed to the script?
