Wrong advice in the commit message: MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS
doesn't work (it tries to install a non-existent ovmf package into the
rootfs and fails), use EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS instead (same mechanism that
also triggers building qemu-native).

I'll fix this if a v3 of this series becomes necessary, but wouldn't do
that just for this fix alone.
