[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 2/2] bitbake: main: set defaults from env variables

[Ed Bartosh]

Environment variables BBSERVER, BBTOKEN and BBEVENTLOG silently
overwrite bitbake command line arguments. This is confusing and
can cause issues that are difficult to debug. It's better to use
them as default values instead.

Used environment variables BBSERVER, BBTOKEN and BBEVENTLOG to set
default values for command line arguments.

Changed setting default value of --ui command line argument from
BITBAKE_UI to look similar way.
