[OE-core] overuse of bitbake flags considered harmful

[Phil Blundell]

I was mildly amused to discover, the other day, that the output of
"bitbake -e rpm | grep PACKAGECONFIG" is not quite as one might naïvely
expect.  

I guess the right response to this is perhaps that bitbake ought
nowadays to find some other way to store its own internal state, since
the idiom of using flags is pretty well established in oe-core.
