[OE-core] [PATCH 0/6] Fixes for INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE handling

From: Christopher Larson <chris_larson at mentor.com>

This fixes a number of bugs spotted while trying to use INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE
= "*GPLv3", and also while experimenting with a recipe whose LICENSE includes
GPLv3, but whose packages do not. In addition, it reduces the message spam by
switching the license incompatibility messages to debug.

Note: there's still one remaining bug I noticed, the wildcard support which
was added is not very well supported in concert with the host tools exclusion
variables. It asks for an spdx version of "*GPLv3", gets nothing but itself,
and tries to look up whitelists for that string. This is not addressed by this
patch series, but I mention it here for awareness, and also a reminder to
myself to look in to it.

The following changes since commit 6080d1dc719c38fd97c2abd38e0ad938fbf6f452:

  connman: fixed init script so connman can runs over nfs (2013-01-15 08:09:30 +0000)
