This is necessary to be able to use the sftp fetcher.

I have been trying out the whitelisting of tools in $PATH, and it seems to work very well. However, one thing that I realized is that the tools used by the various fetchers need to be whitelisted. This patch adds sftp to HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL as that is the only fetcher we use appart from git and wget, but I expect other tools such as cvs, svn, hg, etc need to be added as well.

Feel free to squash this commit with the "base/bitbake.conf: Filter contents of PATH to only allow whitelisted tools" commit.

For some, like subversion we actually build subversion-native so they shouldn't be listed by default.

I squashed this in along with some other minor tweaks thanks.
