Fixes for the fetcher

We need the SFTP fetcher for one of our recipes. As it turned out when I wrote the recipe, the fetcher failed to retrieve the sources because it wanted me to specify checksums for them. However, the checksums _were_ specified in the recipe.

After examining the code for the fetcher, it turned out that the list of fetchers that expect a checksum is hardcoded in the constructor of FetchData in lib/bb/fetch2/__init__.py, whereas verify_checksum() uses ud.method.supports_checksum() and ud.method.recommends_checksum() to determine if a checksum is needed. Needless to say, this of course failed as the hardcoded values did not match reality.

This patch updates the list of hardcoded fetchers to include SFTP, but I consider it more of a bandage, and someone with better Python skills than mine should rewrite the constructor to not use a hardcoded list.
