allow dependency checks to bubble up feature warnings to the interpreter

It would be too difficult and probably a layering violation to give an
interpreter handle to the inner guts of every dependency. What we can do
instead is let every dependency track:

- the Feature checks it can produce,
- the version attribute for when it was implemented

while leaving the interpreter in charge of actually emitting them.
