[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] gst-plugins-package.inc: Avoid dependency on ${PN} from ${PN}-<plugin>

A recent change to this file added a runtime dependency from ${PN} on
${PN}-meta since users tend to believe that installing the main
package will bring in all of the individual plugin packages, which
previously was not the case. However, since all plugin packages had a
dependency on the main package, this caused all plugin packages to be
pulled in whenever one plugin package was installed...

Since the main package is now guaranteed to be empty, there is no
reason for the plugin packages to depend on it any more.
