combo-layer: handle unset dest_dir in sanity_check()

The previous "clean up dest_dir checking" patch (f8cdbe7497) improved
handling of empty dest_dir but made handling of unset dest_dir worse:
instead showing the "Option dest_dir is not defined for component ..."
error, it fails with a Python exception.

Avoid that by providing a sane fallback for the unset case. With that
change, dest_dir is no longer strictly required, but the check for it
is kept to ensure that a combo-layer.conf also works with older
combo-layer versions.
