[OE-core] [PATCH] buildhistory: Allow the version backwards check to be disabled

[Richard Purdie]

When the PR service is not enabled, the versions can go backwards and there
are cases we don't want to know about this. This patch adds a variable
allowing these checks to be turned off whilst still using buildhistory.
