Reproducible Build Improvements

Contact: Joshua Watt

There are a number of open features related to the way that reproducible are tested that could improve them to expand our coverage of reproducibility. Some or all of these might be good options to procure funding:

1. Testing final binary root file systems for reproducibility (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13515)
2. Test kernel and kernel modules for reproducibility (in DEPLOY_DIR) for reproducibility (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12719)
3. Support for generic reproducibility testing of DEPLOY_DIR files
4. Test native recipes for reproducibility
5. Test that nativesdk packages and SDKs are reproducible (specifically, uninative tarball and buildtools-*-tarball)
6. Fake timestamps when running reproducible builds to suss out additional reproducible problems (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13509)
7. Fake current username when running reproducible builds to suss out additional reproducible problems (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13511)
8. Fake hostname when running reproducible builds to suss out additional reproducible problems (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13510)
9. Test additional architectures (arm64?)
