fedora: version the compat Provides at COSMIC's version, not at ours

Browse Source 
`Provides: cosmic-comp = %{version}-%{release}` reads as the obvious thing to
write and is wrong in a way that only shows up at the next boot.

cosmic-greeter requires `cosmic-comp >= 1.5.0`. A Provides of 0.1.0 does not
satisfy that, so dnf's resolution of `install hyprcosmic` is to remove
cosmic-greeter -- which on a stock Fedora COSMIC is the display manager. The
transaction succeeds, nothing warns, and the machine comes back to a text
console.

Verified against the installed set on a Fedora 44 COSMIC machine, where the
same transaction removed cosmic-greeter (`>= 1.5.0`) and cosmic-config-fedora
(`>= 1.0.0~alpha.3`) while leaving cosmic-workspaces alone. Workspaces depends
on a bare `cosmic-comp` with no version, so it is the control: the Provides
mechanism works, only the comparison was failing.

Arch and Debian are not affected and are left alone. Arch's cosmic-greeter
depends on a bare `cosmic-comp` with no constraint, so its provides at $pkgver
resolves; Debian has no cosmic-comp package at all, so its Conflicts and
Provides are precautionary and have nothing to compare against.

Separately, and not a packaging matter: cosmic-session is listed in
/etc/dnf/protected.d/fedora-cosmic.conf on a Fedora COSMIC install. Protected
packages are locked in the solver, so the transaction is unsolvable and
--allowerasing has no effect on it. Installing over a stock COSMIC needs
`--setopt=protected_packages=` on the command line. That is the distribution
declining to let its desktop be removed by accident, which is reasonable, and
overriding it is the operator's call to make explicitly.
