RFC Move static libraries to -staticdev packages

This RFC is for moving the static libraries to -staticdev, I have already had some input to this patch set from other.

I have modified bitbake.conf to add a -staticdev package similar to the -dev package.

I also added a new libdev.bbclass that a number of ther classes inherit which provides a similar set of functionality but for the lib${PN} packages.

Please review and comment, I will make a pull request on Tuesday if no comments are received.

Thanks
Sau!
