[OE-core] [PATCH V2] package.bbclass: skip already-stripped QA test if asked for

[Khem Raj]

Some packages like grub have already stripped binaries e.g.

ERROR: QA Issue: File '/boot/grub/kernel.img' from grub was already
stripped, this will prevent future debugging!
ERROR: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them.

We would like to have a possibility to skip it using something like

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "already-stripped"

This adds the logic to do so

it acts at PN level and not at package level. so something like

INSANE_SKIP_${PN}-misc = "already-stripped" wont work.
