image-container.bbclass: Error if not using linux-dummy
In the typical case of a container, the user doesn't particularly care about the kernel version used. Since using linux-dummy prevents building a kernel in the most common case, alert the user if they choose a container image, but don't also specify linux-dummy. In the cases the user actually does want to build against particular kernel headers, etc, they can override by setting IMAGE_CONTAINER_NO_DUMMY = "1".
