[meta-virtualization][PATCH] xen-image-minimal: reduce the x86 wic build dependencies

[Christopher Clark]

The Xen image recipe provides a default WKS_FILE for x86 builds to enable
booting the image either in qemu or directly on hardware. Add settings
for WKS_FILE_DEFAULT_DEPENDS that specify the wic image build
dependencies, which are lower than the defaults used without it.

This change reduces the amount of build resources required for CI of
this image and images that are derived from it.

Since WKS_FILE is specified separately for x86-64 and qemux86-64
overrides, do the same for WKS_FILE_DEFAULT_DEPENDS, even though the
dependencies for the two separate WKS_FILEs are currently the same.
