[OE-core] [PATCH 00/30] Refactor update-alternatives

[Mark Hatle]

This set of commits refactors update-alternatives.  The primary purpose 
is to cover all of the corner cases currently in oe-core (and hopefully 
other layers) so that recipes can all use the update-alternatives class, 
instead of manual update-alternatives calls in man post install/remove 
scripts.

The refactored update-alternatives is compatible with the older methods, 
but does indicate they are deprecated via a warning message.  One of the 
key changes is that all referenced alternatives are not added to the 
per-file dependency information.  For example, gawk sets up an 
alternative for 'awk'.  The /bin/gawk binary now says it provides 
/bin/awk, so that the package management systems that use per file 
dependencies (i.e. RPM), will be able to find the minimum set of 
packages to resolve the image.

In addition, to all of that, the references have been changed from 
".${PN}" to ".${BPN}" for alternatives.  This will allow the multilib
system to work as intended by resolving multilib binaries.

All of the work has been tested using buildhistory and building various 
images.  Buildhistory indicated only expected changes were performed.

(To avoid spamming the list, I have decided to only send the first 3 
patches, lrzsz, busybox, util-linux and shadow-native as this is a 
reasonable representation of the changes.  Please see the referenced 
repository and branch below for full details on the series.)
