uutils-coreutils: Exclude from world unless it is the selected provider

uutils-coreutils sets PROVIDES/RPROVIDES = "coreutils" and is a drop-in
replacement that cannot coexist with GNU coreutils; both ship the same
update-alternatives links. meta-oe/conf/layer.conf already selects between
them with PREFERRED_PROVIDER_coreutils{,-native,nativesdk-}, defaulting to
GNU coreutils.

PREFERRED_PROVIDER only disambiguates providers reached through a
dependency, not recipes built as explicit targets. Since uutils-coreutils
was in world, 'bitbake world' and 'bitbake universe' pulled both recipes
into the same task graph as targets, so bitbake reported:

  NOTE: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide coreutils:
  NOTE: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide coreutils-native:
  NOTE: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide nativesdk-coreutils:

Key EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD off the selected provider so only the chosen
implementation is built in world/universe. Building uutils-coreutils
explicitly, or selecting it via PREFERRED_PROVIDER_coreutils, still works.
This follows the existing conditional EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD idiom used by
mpv, sox and vlc.
