This set of commits refactors update-alternatives. The primary purpose
is to cover all of the corner cases currently in oe-core (and hopefully
other layers) so that recipes can all use the update-alternatives class,
instead of manual update-alternatives calls in man post install/remove
scripts.
The refactored update-alternatives is compatible with the older methods,
but does indicate they are deprecated via a warning message. One of the
key changes is that all referenced alternatives are not added to the
per-file dependency information. For example, gawk sets up an
alternative for 'awk'. The /bin/gawk binary now says it provides
/bin/awk, so that the package management systems that use per file
dependencies (i.e. RPM), will be able to find the minimum set of
packages to resolve the image.
In addition, to all of that, the references have been changed from
".${PN}" to ".${BPN}" for alternatives. This will allow the multilib
system to work as intended by resolving multilib binaries.
All of the work has been tested using buildhistory and building various
images. Buildhistory indicated only expected changes were performed.
(To avoid spamming the list, I have decided to only send the first 3
patches, lrzsz, busybox, util-linux and shadow-native as this is a
reasonable representation of the changes. Please see the referenced
repository and branch below for full details on the series.)

Merged to master, thanks.
I've noticed a few issues and this obviously introduces a lot of warning
messages. I've posted a couple of fixes but we need a plan to get the
warnings resolved...
I can work through the warnings fairly quickly. I left them there
intentionally. I wanted to proved the deprecated functionality was complete and
worked as expected. (I forgot to note that in the original submission.)
If nobody else is working on revising the other items I'll start working through
them.

Richard
