New QA tests for unsafe references to exec_prefix

Hello,

This is a P2 feature for Yocto 1.2. It adds two new QA tests to check files in base_bindir, base_sbindir, and base_libdir for references to files under exec_prefix (e.g, dynamic linking for binaries and references to exec_prefix in scripts).

The reason for these tests is that exec_prefix (typically /usr) can be kept on a separate partition that may be mounted late in the boot process, or may not be mounted at all during system recovery operations.

It was my original goal to make the dynamic linking test a QA error upon failure, but it turned out the amount of recipe work needed was much larger than I expected. So for the time being they have been changed to generate QA warmings.

The libraries I've moved to base_libdir in this pull request should take care of all binaries in /bin and /sbin for packages we include in core-image-minimal and -sato.

I would like to ask recipe maintainers to look for these QA warnings and fix them ASAP, as I believe we'll be changing this to a QA error before the release of 1.2.
