[OE-core] [PATCH v2] image.py: avoid mkdir race when building multiple images

[Mike Crowe]

If multiple images are being built simultaneously against the same
sysroot then the call to os.makedirs in Image._write_wic_env can fail
with:

File: '.../meta/lib/oe/image.py', lineno: 341, function: _write_wic_env
     0337:        """
     0338:        stdir = self.d.getVar('STAGING_DIR_TARGET', True)
     0339:        outdir = os.path.join(stdir, 'imgdata')
     0340:        if not os.path.exists(outdir):
 *** 0341:            os.makedirs(outdir)
     0342:        basename = self.d.getVar('IMAGE_BASENAME', True)
     0343:        with open(os.path.join(outdir, basename) + '.env', 'w') as envf:
     0344:            for var in self.d.getVar('WICVARS', True).split():
     0345:                value = self.d.getVar(var, True)
File: '/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py', lineno: 157, function: makedirs
     0153:            if e.errno != errno.EEXIST:
     0154:                raise
     0155:        if tail == curdir:           # xxx/newdir/. exists if xxx/newdir exists
     0156:            return
 *** 0157:    mkdir(name, mode)
     0158:
     0159:def removedirs(name):
     0160:    """removedirs(path)
     0161:
Exception: OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '.../tmp-glibc/sysroots/cheetah/imgdata'

Using bb.utils.mkdirhier() protects against this.

There's also little point in checking to see if the directory already
exists - we might as well just try and create it regardless.

Once the directory has been created, there's no race on the actual file
since the filename contains IMAGE_BASENAME.
