[OE-core] [PATCH 00/14] Tinfoil rework - OE-Core changes

[Paul Eggleton]

Tinfoil is an API that allows you to write simple utilities that call into
BitBake code to read variables, parse recipes, etc. (as used by various
scripts in BitBake & OE, including bitbake-layers, devtool, etc.) This
patchset reworks tinfoil in order to address several limitations of the
current implementation, first and foremost that it doesn't currently work
in bitbake's memory resident mode. This rework is also known as "tinfoil2"
although the classes and modules have not changed name. This patchset
depends upon the corresponding patchset sent to the bitbake-devel list and
both sets should be applied together in order for things to remain working.

Note that whilst these patchsets make some significant improvements to how
the system behaves in memory resident mode, there are still a number of
issues that prevent memory resident mode from being reliable. See this
wiki page for a few more details:

  https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tinfoil2

I will be converting some of these into bugzilla entries after this
patchset and the corresponding one for bitbake get merged.
