Fixes [YOCTO #4497] We extend the search path in a number of recipes

be changed to use FILESEXTRAPATHS to extend the path instead or use
a
default FILESPATH (e.g. BP, BPN or files).
Whilst FILESPATH is discouraged, so is putting files into "files"
directories so those changes are not an improvement.

I agree, 'files' is not a good choice and of course BP and BPN are
preferred if possible. My intention in this case however was that
'files' was an "less bad" option in the situations where all bb-files
within a recipe used a 'common' dir to store patches. In these
situations I thought it was more clear to use a name that better
displayed the "common use" and since 'files' is quite a common name +
that it removes the need of extending the filespath, I used it in theses
situations. But I guess you could see 'BPN' as a common dir as well
since it's the same name as the recipe (even if they are used by other
bb-files with different PN within the same recipe). So I will change
those commits that are using 'files' and use either BPN as a "shared
patchdir" or try to split them into different PN/P dirs if possible.
BR,
Petter
