[oe] [meta-networking] Update to standalone tree

   If you are only using meta-networking from meta-openembedded, you
   need read no further.  This is only for people using my side-project
   on github.  Absolutely nothing has changed in the official
   meta-networking.



For anyone using the standalone meta-networking subtree I maintain on
github, please be aware that I've made a change to the way I create the
subtree which, unfortunately, will result in a forced update for all of
your branches.  And probably a merge on whatever branch you happen to be
on already (eg. master).  If you get into that scenario, I suggest
pushing your current branch with the merge in it off a cliff and
re-creating the current branch tracking the up-stream.  If you're not in
the habit of doing a git-pull, though, this will probably be cleaner:

   % git fetch --all --tags ; git rebase origin/<up-stream-branch-name

The reason for this (and the advantage) has been in response to requests
I've had to preserve the original (that is, meta-oe) commit hash so it
is easy to connect a commit in the standalone meta-networking with the
official meta-networking I maintain as a part of the larger meta-oe.
The change is small and hopefully self-explanatory, but I won't let that stop
me.

Where 441502b6... is the commit in meta-oe from Roy that happens to
upgrade vsftpd.

FWIW, I don't anticipate doing anything destructive like this again.
