[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 7/8] bitbake/cooker: avoid printing stack trace for -b match error

[Paul Eggleton]

Improves error output for matching problems when the -b / --buildfile
command line option is used.

Rename MultipleMatches exception to NoSpecificMatch (as it is also
raised when there are no matching recipes) and make it inherit from
BBHandledException so that it doesn't print a stack trace (we always log
an ERROR prior to raising it.)

In addition, improve the formatting of the error message - only call the
log function once rather than once for every match, and use a more
appropriate message if there are no matches.

Fixes [YOCTO #1141]
