[OE-core] [RFC v1 PATCH 00/16] populate perl-native into its own directory

[Dexuan Cui]

Currently both perl-native (a.k.a. ${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/perl )and
perl-native-runtime(a.k.a. the system perl, or /usr/bin/perl) appear in
the PATH when bitbake is running.
This can cause some race conditions: many places detecting perl from PATH
can't make sure which path will be used as this depends on when perl-native's
populate_sysroot is finished, e.g., automake-native and autoconf-native could
use perl-native-runtime while gnu-config-native could use perl-native and
this inconsistent usages can cause trouble, e.g., bug 941.

And, as RP suggested, "the time to use perl-native instead of
perl-native-runtime is where any perl module is being built, perl itself is
being built or anything that has an explicit dependency on the perl version
present".

So I made the following changes to try to address the aboves issues:
1) populate perl-native into its own directory so it won't appear in PATH
by default, and add perlnative.bbclass for these recipes that really depend
on perl-native;
2) check all perl-native references and correct the ones that should be
perl-native-runtime;
3) fix any building issues due to the new location of perl-native,
especially cpan and cpan-base .bbclass.

With the changes, bug 941 doesn't appear.

Tests I did are:
I tried "bitbale core-image-sato-sdk and meta-toolchain-gmae" in x86_32 and
x86_64 Ubuntu hosts and everything seems building fine.


Please review the changes and comment on them. Thanks!
