update-alternatives.bbclass: Refactor the implementation

Refactor in order to:
  * Deprecate the old interfaces, but keep them for compatibility
  * Provide a new, interface -- capable of working with split packages
  * Each update-alternative will now set proper "per-file" provides

Note: this adds a warning message when the older deprecated behavior is
used.  The older behavior has been fully tested using oe-core.
