update-rcd: drop depends to recommends, check for update-rcd in scripts

This class is still checking if update-rc.d is installed before using
it, so nothing should fail terribly if image developer decides that he
want's image without any sysvinit related stuff.

If you want image which supports both you can add runtime dependency on
update-rc.d somewhere else - it doesn't need to be pulled by every
recipe which inherits update-rc.d bbclass.
