systemd-coredump dlopen()s libdw to symbolicate backtraces. These
libraries are marked as "suggested" in libsystemd-shared's .note.dlopen
metadata, causing them to land in RSUGGESTS rather than RRECOMMENDS.
RSUGGESTS packages are not installed into the rootfs, breaking
symbolication and causing test_systemd_coredump_minidebuginfo to fail.

Restore explicit RRECOMMENDS for libdw and libelf when elfutils
PACKAGECONFIG is enabled to ensure backtrace symbolication works.

Fixes regression from bb9c619174 ("systemd: drop redundant runtime
dependencies").

To recreate the issue in qemux86-64:

DISTRO_FEATURES:append = "minidebuginfo"
TEST_SUITES = "ping ssh systemd"

bitbake core-image-minimal
bitbake core-image-minimal -c testimage

Before:

RESULTS - systemd.SystemdServiceTests.test_systemd_coredump_minidebuginfo: 
FAILED (2.71s)

After:

RESULTS - systemd.SystemdServiceTests.test_systemd_coredump_minidebuginfo: 
PASSED (2.71s)
