[OE-core] [PATCH v2] bitbake.conf: Add sdl-config to HOSTTOOLS if using host SDL

[Jonathan Liu]

Hi Patrick,

The original problem was that bitbake would print out the error:
"libsdl-native is set to be ASSUME_PROVIDED but sdl-config can't be
found in PATH. Please either install it, or configure qemu not to
require sdl.", if "libsdl-native" was in ASSUME_PROVIDED even if the
host has sdl-config in its PATH.

This occurred really early for a clean build and bitbake would bail
out. The sanity check is in meta/classes/sanity.bbclass.

Regards,
Jonathan
