As the first of several changes to the kern-tools coupled to
the branch management in the yocto kernels the repository
is being renamed to it proper name. This change switches us to
that newly created repo.

By default the linux-yocto recipes operate on the current branch
and use it as a trigger to locate the description of a board. This
model works well when using the git repo outside of a build system
since the commands can be simply invoked and will do something
useful. However, it does mean that you can't have two BSPs that
differ only by configuration, building out of a single branch
in the repository.
This means that you must have many branches for very similar
BSPs. This model is still preferred, but having the choice of
branching strategies is better.
With this change we can have multiple BSPs using a single branch
with the preferred description being hinted from the build
system by passing the $machine value to updateme/configme.

Fixes [BUGID: #390]
The custom de-checkpoint routines used in createme/patchme
destroyed data each run. This meant that incremental and
expermental work couldn't be done directly in the kernel source
tree itself. Using the more robust kgit-checkpoint allows that
data to be persistent (until a clean is done).

Fixes [BUGID #388]
Even if we aren't creating the branch from scratch, it is possible
that it has never been patched before. So let's make sure the
infrastructure for patching is always in place.

Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things
and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several
logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more
information about the classifications used.
The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes"
as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to
people and has many different meanings.
Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass
at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as
they're no longer actively used or maintained.
