Richard Purdie 2ce6c7b190 bitbake: cooker/siggen: Empty siggen cache during parsing
When parsing recipes its apparent the memory usage of bitbake rises linearly
with number of recipes parsed. It shouldn't.

Using tracemalloc (thanks for the tip Joshua Lock) it was clear that the
dependency information left behind in siggen was the culprit. Add a new
method to allow us to drop this information. We don't need it after the recipe
has been parsed and hashes calculated (at runtime its different but only the
currently executing task would be in memory).

This should give signficant memory usage improvements for bitbake and that
in turn should help speed on more constrained systems, as well as when used in
multiconfig environments.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
