package.bbclass: remove RRECOMMENDS on base packages for locale packages

As long as we support only one locale package per recipe this leads to unwanted
packages in images. This patch was motivated by samba (meta-oe): only wanting
libsmbclient one gets full samba server into the image. For my standard image
the follwing package were removed by this patch:

-acl_2.2.51-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-states_0.2.0-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-aconnect_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-alsaconf_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-alsactl_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-alsaloop_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
 alsa-utils-alsamixer_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-alsaucm_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-amixer_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-aplay_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-aseqdump_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-aseqnet_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-iecset_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-midi_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-alsa-utils-speakertest_1.0.25-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-attr_2.4.46-r4_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-avahi_0.6.31-r7.1_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-gtk-engines_2.20.2-r3_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-pulseaudio_2.1-r15_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-samba_3.6.8-r6_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-vte_0.28.2-r5_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk
-xz_5.1.2alpha-r0_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk

Strange effect: For samba buildhistory's depends.dot says:
-samba -> libc6;
-samba -> libgcc1;
-samba -> libreadline6;
-samba -> libtalloc2;
-samba -> libtdb1;
-samba -> libwbclient0;
-samba -> libz1;
-samba -> update_rc_d;
-samba_locale_de -> samba [style=dotted];
 samba_locale_de -> virtual_locale_de [style=dotted];
-samba_locale_fr -> samba [style=dotted];
-samba_locale_fr -> samba [style=dotted];

This is conflicts to buildhistory's result on samba package not mentioning
any changes for samba package.
