bitbake-getvar does not have a way to silence bitbake
server's logger and that makes the tool hard to use for
text processing. This is especially true when one wants to
get a bitbake value to be piped to some other utility and
instead we get uncontrolled logging messages or warnings
together with bitbake's variable value.
Example without quiet:
bitbake-getvar --value MACHINE
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
qemux86-64
With quiet:
bitbake-getvar --value MACHINE --quiet
qemux86-64

We really do want to see those, as they tend to turn into
hard errors eventually, as what happened with collections
vs collections.abc in python 3.10.

We've talked about having this for long enough. Add a command which queries a single
variable value with history. This saves "bitbake -e | grep" and avoids the
various pitfalls that has.
It also provides a neat example of using tinfoil to make such a query.
Parameters to limit the output to just the value, to limit to a variable flag
and to not expand the output are provided.
