Its in ASSUME_PROVIDED since we do rely on bzip2 being there so that
people can have .bz2 files in SRC_URI.

I have a small preference for disabling bzip2 in elfutils-native, just
because we only really want to build things that are necessary. The
more dependencies we add in, the longer builds take.

Do we really need bzip2 in elfutils-native?
