[artix-general] v4l-utils now provides edid-decode (could "edid-decode" be added in the "conflicts" and "provides" array for v4l-utils, )

With Today's upgrade I faced:

> error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
> v4l-utils: /usr/bin/edid-decode exists in filesystem (owned by edid-decode-git)
> v4l-utils: /usr/share/man/man1/edid-decode.1.gz exists in filesystem (owned by edid-decode-git)
> Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Then I uninstalled edid-decode-git for the conflict to go away and guess what:

> % pacman -Ql v4l-utils | 'grep' edid-decode
> v4l-utils /usr/bin/edid-decode
> v4l-utils /usr/share/man/man1/edid-decode.1.gz

So it seems now v4l-utils provides edid-decode.  I'm wondering if devs could avoid the conflict by adding "edid-decode" as part of the arrays *conflicts* and *provides* of the *v4l-utils* PKGBUILD?

Thanks !
