Richard Purdie 5157c85776 base/perlnative/pythonnative/gzipnative: Add a new variable to enable easier handling of native path issues
If something is listed in ASSUME_PROVIDED but also manually built (like bzip2-native and
bzip2-replacement-native), we need to ensure that the installed binaries are only accessed
for things which list the provider in DEPENDS.

This patch adds a generic mechanism to handle this instead of everything reinventing the
wheel. EXTRANATIVEPATH += "perl-native" will ensure that ${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/perl-native
is added to PATH.

This means that:

a) Such providers should install to ${bindir}/xxx-native
b) Should PROVIDE += "xxxx-replacement-native"
c) That users should DEPEND on xxx-replacement-native and have EXTRANATIVEPATH += "xxx-native"

This patch enables this at the core level, the bzip2 recipe still needs adjusting to work
like this along with adjustment of the users of bzip2-replacement-native (python-native?).

Richard Purdie 40f95685e6 gzip/pigz-native: Install into a prefix to avoid clashing with system binaries
Due to the system providing a copy of gzip, we face some issues when we
'shadow' that copy with our own leading to a varient of race type bugs,
and issues for example if a dependency such as libz is missing but the
binary is still present. We usually rely on our dependency logic to protect
us from this but for gzip, we don't have this protection since its not listed
by all its users (and doing so would be impractical).

This patch installed pigz and gzip into their own directory which we only
add to PATH when we explictly want these binaries in much the same way we do
with perl-native. This means dependency logic is correct when we use the binary
and everything should work well.

The patch adds an explict dependency into image.bbclass since the accelerated
speed of compression is most appreciated at rootfs time.
