[OE-core] [PATCH] dpkg-deb: strip virtual/ package prefix in control files

[Joe MacDonald]

If a recipe provides a 'virtual/foo', dpkg-deb will fail as '/' characters
are not allowed in any of the Depends, Recommends, Suggests, etc. fields.
The intent of these in the Debian package system and the few cases where
they are used in Yocto layers seems like throwing away the 'virtual/'
prefix preserves the intent, while not requiring it to be removed for
package systems that allow it (eg. opkg and rpm).
