Fix parse error with packages such as spectrum-fw whose name has no
version string. Later we may have per-recipe option to disable automatic
check for those known with troubles, to reduce complexity in this part.

both git/svn supports remote information query: 'git ls-remote', and
'svn info'. With them, now upstream version will be automatically
checked for git/svn packages.
In the meantime, manual latest version tagged in distro tracking
fields are also compared as one alternative if upstream check fails.
Also such check is one indicator whether tracking field is missing.

Automatic upstream version check can be triggered by "bitbake xxx -c checkpkg".
The rationale behind is to find a automatic way for version comparison between
current in-use one and upstream progress. The tricky thing is how to find out
useful version string from mass diverse information. Fortunately now it mostly
work for wget based protocol, except some sites (e.g. sourceforge) not providing
a directory service. Repo (git/svn/cvs) based protocols are handled in a very
simple manner, by always tagging as update required. This will be further
improved later. Use 'world' target to retrieve a full version check for all
active recipes.
Along with version check, other package information is also collected from
existing fields in .bb file

This adds a new task (distro_check) for each recipe.
The task generates the source package list for Fedora OpenSuSE
Ubuntu Debian & Mandriva Linux distros.
As one recipe or source package can generate multiple target packages
the recipe name is compared with the source package name list of LInux
distributions.
Thread locking is used to avoid multiple threads racing for the
package list update.
Then the recipe name (PN) is checked if it exists in the package
list of distros. And if the DISTRO_PN_ALIAS then it is used to copmare
pacakge_name instead of the PN variable. Just for example the
DISTRO_PN_ALIAS can be defined in the recipe (.bb) files like this
In the file xset_1.0.4.bb:
DISTRO_PN_ALIAS = "Fedora=xorg-x11-server-utils;\
Ubuntu=x11-xserver-utils; Debian=x11-xserver-utils;Opensuse=xorg-x11"
The final results are stored in the tmp/log/distro_check-${DATETIME}.result
file.
FYI this command will generate the results for all recipies:
bitbake world -f -c distro_check
