RFC Distro config changes

From: Richard Purdie <[email protected]>

As discussed, we want to make OE-Core usable with no distro set. This patch series makes some big steps towards that goal. I'd be interested in feedback on whether it does the right things and would be usable by others.

The key is the inclusion of a distro/defaultsetup.conf file by bitbake.conf and in turn this pulls in a variety of other common include files which can likely be shared. Any point of this cycle can be overridden by another layer so its totally customisable. I'd encourage users to use the pieces they can where possible so we all share best practises but obviously people have choice.

I did dump a load of "default" variables into default-distrovars.inc, I'm not calling that file finished, I just had to draw the line somewhere and start a discussion about this :)

Also, I'm aware there are still a few poky-* files in meta/conf/distro/include. Some of these can just be deleted, others renamed tcmode-* and I'll take care of that. I'll also delete the poky.conf file since it no longer contains anything required to make OE-Core build as far as I know (wider testing needed).

Richard Purdie (6):
Drop poky-floating-revisions.inc, poky-bleeding.conf and
poky-lsb.conf
bitbake.conf: Include the new default-providers.inc and
default-versions.inc files
distro: Add defaultsetup.conf, a set of default configuration
providing sane overrridable default for commonly used options
machine/qemu: Add qemu-config as an essential machine speicfic
dependency and drop specific distro config
conf/distro/include/default-distrovars.inc: Create set of default
'distro' variable values
preferred-xorg-versions.inc: Drop this, it makes no sense given we
only have one version of these recipes
