gitver: skip packages instead of panic()ing if ${GITVER} fails to expand

`inherit externalsrc gitver` is a very useful combo to get development trees
in your workspace having a ${PN}_git.bb with PV=${GITVER} coexisting with a regular
${PN}_${PV}.bb

but not everyone wants to checkout all developments sources and managinging different
layers for each options is quite troublesome.

making `gitver` skip the .bb instead of panic()ing every time EXTERNALSRC is missing
allows people to have a single development layer where packages get enabled if
the right sources are present or falling back to the last release if not
