[OE-core] should all RDEPENDS always have an attached package name?

  according to yocto ref manual, all uses of RDEPENDS should be
suffixed with a package name (normally, _${PN}, of course), but i just
noticed that the buildtools-tarball.bb recipe file contains:

  RDEPENDS = "${TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK}"

i suspect that still works just fine, but it does disagree with the
rather adamant admonition in the ref manual.
