[PATCH] layer.conf: Avoid indirect help2man-native dependencies

[changqing.li]

From: Changqing Li <changqing.li@windriver.com>

When DISTRO_FEATURES efi-secure-boot and ima is enabled, all the target
will depend on help2man-native. During build time,some recipes will run
target_binary --help when help2man exist, which may cause run target
binary on build host, which will cause error.

Thanks, our patches have overlapped and mine added this in a slightly
different place so they both "apply" but the effect is the same. Should
be a good fix to reduce the number of files in the sysroots!

Cheers,
