[OE-core] [OE-Core][master][PATCH v3 0/3] Devtool: provide easy means of

[Sai Hari Chandana Kalluri]

This patch series provides support for the user to run menuconfig command in the 
devtool flow. This would allow the user to modify the current configurations and 
generate a config fragment to update the recipe using devtool finish. Devtool
menuconfig command will work on all packages that contain menuconfig as a task.

1. The implementation checks if devtool menuconfig command is called for a valid
package.
2. It checks for oe-local-files dir within source and creates one if
needed, this directory is needed to store the final generated config fragment so
that devtool finish can update the recipe.
3. Menuconfig command is called for users to make necessary changes. After
saving the changes, diffconfig command is run to generate the fragment.

Currently, when the user runs devtool modify command, it checks out the entire    
source tree which is a bit of an over head in time and space. This patch series    
also provides a way to create a copy(hard links) of the kernel source, if    
present, from work-shared to workspace to be more efficient .    
    
Also, if the kernel source is not present in the staging kernel dir and the user    
fetches the source tree in workspace using devtool modify, then this patch    
series creates a copy of source from workspace to work-shared. This is    
necessary for packages that may use the kernel source.

changelog v2    
1. Add a check to verify the set kernel version by user and kernel version                                            
present in work-shared before creating hard links to workspace.    
2. Add a check to verify the set kernel version by user and kernel version                                            
present in workspace do not match, when placing a copy of kernel-source    
from workspace to work-shared.

  devtool modify: Update devtool modify to copy source from work-shared
    if     its already downloaded.

    not     present

changelog v3
1. Use oe.path.copyhardlinktree() to create copy of source from work-shared to
devtool workspace.
2. Split all the changes into appropriate patches. Move all
menuconfig command specific changes under devtool menuconfig command patch
(3/3).

    work-shared if its already downloaded
