conf/bitbake.conf: add DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL

When introducing new items to DISTRO_FEATURES that control functionality
that is already enabled, in order to leave existing distro configuration
unchanged we need a way to "backfill" these new feature items onto the
existing DISTRO_FEATURES value.

This introduces a DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL variable whose items will be
added to the end of DISTRO_FEATURES, unless they also appear in
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED which distros can use in their
configuration to prevent specific items from being added.

Fixes [YOCTO #1946].
