[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] wic: improve error message

When using `wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minimal', the following
error message appeared.

  Please bake it with 'bitbake parted-native' and try again.

However, following this command doesn't do any help. The same problem
still appeared.

The problem is that when we 'bitbake parted-native', it doesn't have
anything to do with core-image-minimal. And the required tool 'parted'
is not under core-image-minimal's recipe-sysroot-native directory.

Improve the error message so that following it could get things done.
