Richard Purdie 7bbeddeee1 bitbake: bin/bitbake-getvar: Add a new command to query a variable value (with history)
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.

[YOCTO #10748]
