[oe] bitbake dies with an python exception | AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'

[Paul Barker]

I've just ran into this again building dylan with the latest version
of bitbake as it doesn't appear that the dylan branch of
openembedded-core sets FAKEROOTCMD in bitbake.conf. I've cherry-picked
the commit below from master onto dylan and it looks like the build is
now going ahead happily.

Bitbake has no dylan branch so I just assumed I was correct using
master. Am I wrong here? If bitbake master is supposed to be able to
build old branches of OpenEmbedded, perhaps this commit needs
backporting to dylan/danny/etc? It looks like it shouldn't cause any
harm if an older bitbake version is used as it simply adds values for
FAKEROOTBASEENV and FAKEROOTCMD.
