[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] Support for VirtualBox guest additions

In order to support VirtualBox guest additions, kernel headers need to be present 
in the VM. I am aware we already have two packages/recipes that are somewhat similar
(kernel-devsrc.bb, linux-libc-headers), but none of them is suitable for this purpose.
Besides the kernel headers, some additional files (scripts, Makefiles, .config, etc)
are also required. 

The new recipe "kernel-headers.bb" can in principle be used by other images as well.
It is not limited to the Build Appliance and hence is not a part of the Build Appliance
recipe.

  kernel-headers: linux kernel headers
