I'm not sure that PROVIDE is still mandatory. But run_rc_command() in
rc.subr does require "name" to be defined.
There are several example scripts at
<https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/rc-scripting/index.html>,
most of which which do not include PROVIDE.
Only one of the example scripts uses PROVIDE but the text implies that
it's only needed if other scripts are to depend on it.
