package.bbclass: allow shell-style wildcards in PRIVATE_LIBS

PRIVATE_LIBS is used to exclude 'private' libraries from getting added to
automatic runtime dependency resolution. This variable currently has to list
all libraries by name, which becomes a maintenance issue if the list
of such libraries frequently changes, or is very large.

This change allows using shell-style wildcards in the variable, similar
to how FILES lists what gets packaged.
