[OE-core] [PATCH 0/7][RFC][HEREBEDRAGONS] Remove bitbake's knowledge of ${B}

[Ross Burton]

Hi,

So when starting a new task if you don't tell bitbake what directories it should
create (and implicit, chdir() into) it uses ${B}.  Which is bitbake knowing
about openembedded variables, and generally frowned upon.

This branch series removes that knowledge, and if a task is executed without any
directories to create or chdir into it just doesn't do anything.

This revealed a few classes and recipes which assume they're being ran in ${B}
so the rest of the series is either adding back [dirs] flags to the tasks, or
making paths absolute.

Testing has been quite minimal: core-image-sato builds but I've not verified the
contents haven't changed yet.

Comments?

Ross
