archiver.bbclass: do not cause kernel rebuilds

Adding or removing archiver.bbclass from a build configuration causes
rebuilds of linux-yocto-based kernels because of the
do_kernel_configme->do_unpack_and_patch task dependency.

This particular dependency can be ignored for the do_kernel_configme
sstate signature calculcation. Idea for the fix from Richard Purdie.

Note that building the kernel and adding archiver.bbclass later to
archive sources leads to do_unpack_and_patch running after
do_kernel_configme (because that already ran in the first build),
which might be problematic. This is independent of the change here.

The use case in YOCTO #11441 is to removed archiver.bbclass between a
production build with archiving enabled and builds via oe-selftests
without archiving. That direction is fine.

Fixes: YOCTO #11441
