Currently we have a hierarchy of pkgdata directories and the code has to put together
a search path and look through each in turn until it finds the data it needs.
This has lead to a number of hardcoded paths and file globing which
is unpredictable and undesirable. Worse, certain tricks that should be
easy like a GL specific package architecture become problematic with the
curretn search paths.
With the modern sstate code, we can do better and construct a single pkgdata
directory for each machine in just the same way as we do for the sysroot. This
is already tried and well tested. With such a single directory, all the code that
iterated through multiple pkgdata directories and simply be removed and give
a significant simplification of the code. Even existing build directories adapt
to the change well since the package contents doesn't change, just the location
they're installed to and the stamp for them.
The only complication is the we need a different shlibs directory for each
multilib. These are only used by package.bbclass and the simple fix is to
add MLPREFIX to the shlib directory name. This means the multilib packages will
repackage and the sstate checksum will change but an existing build directory
will adapt to the changes safely.
It is close to release however I believe the benefits this patch give us
are worth consideration for inclusion and give us more options for dealing
with problems like the GL one. It also sets the ground work well for
shlibs improvements in 1.6.

We have cases where we'd like to inherit this class by default but allow
special cases to override it. This change makes the code of the class
conditional on PACKAGE_ARCH remaining set to "all", allowing it to be
overridden. packagegroup usage is one case this is desirable.

This was needed when do_package for target recipes was target specific
however since it now isn't we can remove these stale references.

Normally do_package is machine specific but this makes little sense for allarch
recipes. This patch unsets the appropriate variable.

all-arch packages should not contain any binaries that need processing,
so disable the shared library dependency processing and debug symbol
splitting/stripping to save some time during packaging.

This patch removes the variables BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH, BASEPKG_HOST_SYS,
BASEPKG_TARGET_SYS and also removes the immediate assignments in
several core classes as these are no longer required.
This should make it clearer what some of the core variables do and
simplfy some overly complex and confusing class code.

Having a generic word like "all" as an override is dangerous as this is an override
and can cause issues for function names like "sysroot_stage_all". This patch changes
it to "allarch" to help avoid this kind of problem. The field is only used in the
name of directories anyway.

The existing PACKAGE_ARCH = "all" mechanism of sharing packages is problematic
with sstate since there are a variety of variables which have target specific
values and the sstate package therefore correctly changes signature depending
on the MACHINE setting.
This patch creates a new "allarch" class which sets:
PACKAGE_ARCH = "all"
(as per the existing convention)
INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS = "1"
(since its not target specific and therefore can't depend on the cross
compiler or target libc)
TARGET_ARCH = "all"
TARGET_OS = "linux"
TARGET_CC_ARCH = "none"
(since these variables shouldn't change between the different packages and
target compiler flags shouldn't be getting used)
PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS = ""
(since we shouldn't be depending on any architecture specific package architectures)
Not all PACKAGE_ARCH = "all" recipes can use this class since some run configure
checks on the compiler. This means they have target specific components and therefore
the "all" classification is incorrect.
