Use weak assignment for SERIAL_CONSOLES in qemu configuration files so that
the value could serve as a default value and could be easily overridden in
configuration files like local.conf.
When using the default value for SERIAL_CONSOLES in qemux86-64,we would have
annoying messages on console complaining about respawning getty on ttyS1.
Although the value is set by purpose, at least we need to provide an easy way
to override it.

Bring across the comment that was in runqemu regarding why the
virtio-rng-pci device was needed. This comment is added to each location
where the virtio-rng-pci device is added.

Not all QEMU machines (outside of those available in OE-Core) are
capable of using the virtio-rng-pci device due to various machine models
not having a pci/virtio bus. This makes it such that the use of the
'-device virtio-rng-pci' flag to QEMU is machine specific.
This patch removes the general addition of the flag to all runqemu
targets and adds the flag into the QB_OPT_APPEND for all the qemu*
machines in OE-Core that support its use (which is all of them).

The base_version_less_or_equal() will raise errors if
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto is None. For example, when we build
DISTRO = "nodistro", PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto is not be defined
since it is defined in poky.conf, and then bitbake will
choose the higher version which is 4.8 currently, so set
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto to 4.8, otherwise, runqemu can't boot it.

For kernels after 4.7, we need to ensure the DTB file for the kernel is
used by runqemu. Doing this conditionally based upon the kernel verison
being built seems to be the only way forward for this.

qemu can freeze and stop responding if the socket buffer connected to a tcp
serial connection fills up. This happens of course when the reader of
the serial data doesn't actually read it.
This happened in the qemurunner code, because after checking for the
"login:" sentinel, data was never again read from the serial connection.
This patch solves the potential freeze by adding a thread to continuously
read the data from the console and log it. So it also will give a full log
of the console, rather than just up to the login prompt.
To simplify this patch, another serial port was also added to use for the
sole purpose of watching for the sentinel as well as being the interactive
serial port. This will also prevent the possibility of lots of debug
data on the console preventing the sentinel value from being seen due to
interleaved text.

There is currently consideradble confusion over how the tune files operate
and how these interact with the rest of the build system. This update/overhaul
changes things so the tune files are primarily resonsible for setting:
TUNE_ARCH - What was formerly set as TARGET_ARCH and is the value that
represents the architecture we're targetting.
TUNE_PKGARCH - The value that represents the tune confuration that this set
of tune parameters results in.
This allows the significant improvement that the core can now always determine
the target architecture value, even when TARGET_ARCH needs to be reset to
something different and likewise, there is one package architecture variable
the core can reference allowing simplification of the BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH, PACKAGE_ARCH
and FEED_ARCH variables.

The different kernel recipes encapsulate functionality groups for machines,
therefore it makes sense to have all the QEMU machines using the same kernel
recipe.
Switch the QEMU machines to default to the "linux" recipes for their kernel
and bump the latest recipe from linux-2.6.32 to 2.6.33.
