Richard Purdie 0aff94023f bitbake: cooker: Fix unmatched files handling leading to misleading warnings
Currently if all recipes in a layer are skipped, there are warnings that the
BBFILE_PATTERN_ entry didn't match anything. We probably shouldn't do this
for skipped recipes.

The current code is hard to understand, not least as it passes variables
which functions modify by reference rather than giving a return value.

Update calc_bbfile_priority() to return values rather than modifying them.
Refactor the code to try and make it clearer what its doing and fix the
skipped recipe issue by passing in the list of parsed files.

The function is complicated by the need to not rerun regex matching more
than we ever have to which complicates the flow, it would be easier if we
just reran operations multiple times.

Bitbake
=======

BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
stacks using a task-oriented approach.

For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
    http://www.openembedded.org/

Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:

Please refer to
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
branch, type:

    git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
