makepkg: detect incorrect usage of provides array
Using > or < in the provides array is wrong so make it cause an error. Fixes FS#12540. Also, use bash substitution rather than spawning new processes where possible in the error checking. Move split package detection to a better position. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> [Dan: backport to maint] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
