[OE-core] [PATCH 00/17] Build wic images with bitbake

[Ed Bartosh]

Hi Reviewers,

This patchset adds new image type 'wic' to the list of image types
supported by bitbake. This should allow to build partitioned image
the same way as any other images.

New image type can be used in image recipes almost the same way as other
image types. There is just one difference - <image>[.<machine>].wks file
should be put to the same location as image recipe.

To enable this functionality I've implemented generating .env files with
bitbake variables and reading them by wic. This seems to be the only way
to get bitbake variables in wic when it's run by bitbake as running
'bitbake -e' is not possible as bitbake is locked.

Test cases for new functionality and small improvements are also included
into this patchset.

The following changes since commit 6b8bb442880ef18097e47761f4f3b6f555f2877c:
