[OE-core] [PATCH] AB random failure: libpcre-native split_and_strip

[Alex Franco]

Error handling: adding file-native as a dependency to libpre recipe
should guarantee a consistent, and more importantly POSIX-compliant
version of the "file" command is always used when checking the file
"pcre-config" within the isELF function in staging.bbclass.

Following the POSIX behavior, file returns 0 and continues, when an
error is found while checking a file.

Debug: in cases where file may still fail, the resulting error will
now be logged along with the split_and_strip_files failure.

[YOCTO #8144]
