wic is useful from an installed SDK for assembling or inspecting a wic
image, but adding it is not free: nativesdk-wic pulls in the long list
of host-side tools it might need (parted, gptfdisk, dosfstools, mtools,
bmaptool, grub, btrfs-tools, squashfs-tools, e2fsprogs, util-linux,
tar, erofs-utils, and syslinux on x86). Most SDKs do not need any of
that, so it should not be forced into the host packagegroup
unconditionally.

Add an SDK_INCLUDE_WIC knob, defaulting to "no", that gates
nativesdk-wic in the host packagegroup. A configuration that wants wic
in its SDK opts in with

  SDK_INCLUDE_WIC = "yes"

and gets a working wic, together with the tools it invokes, in the SDK;
the default SDK is unchanged.
