[OE-core] [PATCH v3 0/4] image creation improvements

[Ed Bartosh]

Hi,

This patchset contains various improvements for the image creation functionality
made by Patchick Ohly during his work on bug #9076:
 - fixed dependency calculation for conversion chaining
 - renamed COMPRESSION variables to CONVERSION as the term "compression"
   is no longer accurate
 - prioritized specialized image creation methods over using conversion chaining

The changes look reasonable to me. However, it would be good to hear other
people opinions as some changes are quite complex.

Changes in v2: rebased on top of master-next
               returned image_getdepends back to image_types.bbclass
Changes in v3: rebased on top of recent master

The following changes since commit 9c75c64cb99a3d5103b7bb4e2a700e5bb5af516b:

  kernel-dev: Fix the locations of .config and source directory (2016-06-06 22:53:35 +0100)
