    bitbake.conf: Don't exclude MACHINE/MACHINEOVERRIDES from hashes
    
    A long time ago (6 years), this seemed like a good idea. The reality is
    that OVERRIDES should not be being added to hashes and if it is, it likely
    needs excluding in its own right. This was a nice workaround but we need
    to fix the real underlying issues now. In some cases this means excluding
    OVERRIDES from the variables dependency using the vardepsexclude flag however
    caution is needed to ensure this is safe.
    
    Variable values used to construct hashes are unexpanded but the values used
    are computed after the application of OVERRIDES. The important detail is if
    the end resulting unexpanded value changes, not the value of the OVERRIDES
    used in the construction of that unexpanded value. This is why dependencies
    on OVERRIDES itself shouldn't be in the hashes in general.
    
    The recent DISTRO_FEATURES changes adding in override mappings for them
    highlighted this issue. We have some good sstate tests which are effective
    at highlighting where potential issues arrive with OVERRIDES contamination
    (oe-selftest -r sstatetests.SStateTests).
