package_ipk.bbclass: Support hierarchical feed
This patch allows for an optional new layout for ipk feed directories which I've
called a 'hierarchical feed' and is based on how Debian pools package files. It
is disabled by default and is enabled by setting IPK_HIERARCHICAL_FEED to "1".
In the traditional feed layout, package files are placed in <outdir>/<arch>/.
This can lead to several thousand files existing in a single directory which is
often a problem if developers want to upload a package feed to a shared web
hosting provider. For example, in my case, listing files via FTP only shows the
first 2000 files, breaking my scripts which attempt to upload only new and
changed files via FTP.
In the hierarchical feed, package files are written to
<outdir>/<arch>/<pkg_prefix>/<pkg_subdir>, where pkg_prefix is the first letter
of the package file name for non-lib packages or "lib" plus the 4th letter of
the package file name for lib packages (eg, 'l' for less, 'libc' for libc6).
pkg_subdir is the root of the package file name, discarding the version and
architecture parts and the common suffixes '-dbg', '-dev', '-doc', '-staticdev',
'-locale' and '-locale-*' which are listed in meta/conf/bitbake.conf.
This change relies on recent patches to opkg-utils which support hierarchical
package feeds.

With a serial connection and beaglebone setup correctly as per
README.hardware (nand erased, default uboot config assumed, etc) and a
correctly deployed core-image-testmaster, we could actually deploy and
test AB built images.
In the default configuration u-boot will do the right thing and will
always boot into the master image (rootfs on second fs on the card,
kernel in /boot on the same partition). We just need to tell it for the
test image to use the third partition and update the kernel cmdline.
Pexpect is used to interact with whatever serial connection we have
(which for this target is mandatory).
There is some handling for images that don't contain the kernel and
dtb files as needed (such as core-image-minimal).

useradd.bbclass: Add ability to select a static uid/gid automatically
[YOCTO #5436]
Automatic selection of static uid/gid is needed for a dynamically generated
passwd and group file to have a deterministic outcome.
When a package is installed and instructs the system to add a new user or
group, unless it selects a static uid/gid value, the next available uid/gid
will be used. The order in which packages are installed is dynamically
computed, and may change from one installation to the next. This results
in a non-deterministic set of uid/gid values.
Enabling this code by adding USERADDEXTENSION = "useradd-staticids", and
adding a preconfigured passwd/group file will allow the continued dynamic
generation of the rootfs passwd/group files, but will ensure a deterministic
outcome. (Dynamic generation is desired so that users and groups that have
no corresponding functionality are not present within the final system image.)
The rewrite params function will override each of the fields in the
useradd and groupadd calls with the values specified. Note, the password
field is ignored as is the member groups field in the group file. If the
field is empty, the value will not be overridden. (Note, there is no way
to 'blank' a field, as this would only generally affect the 'comment' field
and there really is no reason to blank it.)
Enabling USERADD_ERROR_DYNAMIC will cause packages without static uid/gid
to generate an error and be skipped for the purpose of building. This is
used to prevent non-deterministic behavior.
USERADD_UID_TABLES and USERADD_GID_TABLES may be used to specify the name
of the passwd and group files. By default they are assumed to be
'files/passwd' and 'files/group'. Layers are searched in BBPATH order.
