PATCH 1/1 wic: improve error message
When using `wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minimal', the following error message appeared.
Please bake it with 'bitbake parted-native' and try again.
However, following this command doesn't do any help. The same problem still appeared.
The problem is that when we 'bitbake parted-native', it doesn't have anything to do with core-image-minimal. And the required tool 'parted' is not under core-image-minimal's recipe-sysroot-native directory.
Improve the error message so that following it could get things done.

Why not just fix the wic-tools recipe directly and not push it off onto the user?

wic-tools does have 'parted-native' in its DEPENDS.
I met this error when I used wic command before I executed `bitbake wic-tools'.
What's important here is, when an error message suggests the user to do something, the suggestion should at least have some chance to work. But following the current error message has no chance to fix things.
