[oe] [RFC] PKGPV/PKGPR of the PKG fame

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello,

We now have ability to arbitrarily rename a package as built by
package manager using PKG_<name> construct. Natural and consistent
extension to that would be to allow to rename other parts of full
package name - version and release.

This is useful for building meta-recipes, which package something from
external source without need to know version beforehand.
