[OE-core] Request to move "gitpkgv.bbclass" from meta-oe to oe-core

[Mike Looijmans]

The gitpkgv class is very helpful when you want packages to have a consistent 
incremental version number, when build machines cannot talk to eachother 
(ruling out using PRSERVER for example) other than through repositories.

However, this small gem is present in meta-oe and not in the core. I now have 
several layers that pull in all of meta-oe just for being able to number GIT 
versions incrementally.

Could gitpkgv be moved into oe-core? (I'll be happy to write and submit the 
patch.) Or, is there an alternative that does something similar?

Kind regards,
Mike.
