[bitbake-devel] v3 or so [PATCH 0/1] File inclusion tracking (cleaned up)

This is *just* the file inclusion tracking. Spent a while looking
at it, improved it, got some great advice from a friend who is
better at Python, improved it more, and ended up with something I think
is much more maintainable and much clearer. The include tracking
cost is minimal (the expensive stuff went away), so it's currently
done unconditionally.

As before, the main implication is that bitbake -e output starts out:

        #
        # INCLUDE HISTORY:
        #
        # /home/seebs/poky/build/conf/bblayers.conf
        # /home/seebs/poky/meta/conf/layer.conf
        # /home/seebs/poky/meta-yocto/conf/layer.conf
        # /home/seebs/poky/meta-yocto-bsp/conf/layer.conf
        # conf/bitbake.conf includes:
        #   /home/seebs/poky/meta/conf/abi_version.conf
        [...]

The idea is that if you are getting syntax errors in a file, and you
don't even know *why*, this makes it possible to see. For a smallish
build, the include history is only maybe 50-60 lines, so it's not a
big impact on the size of the bitbake -e output.
