[OE-core] [PATCH 6/6] devtool: modify: make bitbake use local files from srctree

[Markus Lehtonen]

This change makes it possible to have local files (SRC_URI files in
"recipe space") under the srctree even if S!=WORKDIR. The files must be
placed under the 'local-files' subdirectory.

Complements the previous patch that imports local files into srctree.
