Add packagegroup-core-buildessential

[Not heavily tested, but sent for discussion]

task-core-sdk is too big - for example, I simply don't want to ship tcl, ever =) Historically distcc caused a large dependency graph explosion because it has a utility which uses gtk+, although that was fixed.

packagegroup-core-sdk also includes coreutils, which is a bit confusing; conceptually things dependent on coreutils should pull it in explicitly, or possibly we just declare coreutils to be in the minimal build set.

So packagegroup-core-buildessential is intended to be similar to Debian's "build-essential" package. It's the stuff needed by say 80+% of components, not worth repeating over and over.
