[OE-core] Is a dependency on hostperl-runtime-native actually useful?

Currently the openssl 1.0 recipe defines a dependency on
hostperl-runtime-native and the openssl 1.1 recipe does not. Both run
"perl ./Configure ..." as part of do_configure().

Since hostperl-runtime-native is included in ASSUME_PROVIDED, is it
really useful for the openssl 1.0 recipe to list it in DEPENDS?

ie is the openssl 1.0 recipe being unnecessarily complex or is the
openssl 1.1 recipe being too simplistic?
