Luca Ceresoli ab6ebff5c4 externalsrc: fix ExpansionError if the source dir does not exist yet
The externalsrc class code assumes that the source directory
(EXTERNALSRC) exists before bitbake is called. Otherwise do_configure
will fail obviously since externalsrc does not fetch anything.

Commit 3ca6085729 ("externalsrc: Handle .git not being a directory")
changed this behaviour. Now on a missing EXTERNALSRC directory we get
a bb.data_smart.ExpansionError during _parsing_, way before
do_configure can be run.

This new behaviour creates two problems:

 * First, there error message is very cryptic (and it's hard to
   provide a better message since no task is ever run):

     ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing /<...>/<...>.bb
     Traceback (most recent call last):
     bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable do_compile[file-checksums], expression was ${@srctree_hash_files(d)} which triggered exception FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '<...>'

 * Second, this prevents creating a class based on externalsrc that
   automatically fetches the code in EXTERNALSRC before do_compile
   runs.

Fix both problems by simply calling git with '-C ${EXTERNALSRC}'
instead of calling git inside the non-existing directory. This changes
from a bb.data_smart.ExpansionError to a
subprocess.CalledProcessError, which is in line with what's actually
going on: git is telling us it can't find the git dir.

Also remove a comment that does not apply anymore.

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.
