Since bitbake switched back to the fork instead of the exec model,
it no longer used bitbake-runtask and the code has suffered some bitrot.
bitbake-runtask is a useful tool for excuting the task without
the scheduler of bitbake, so that the external tool can invoke it
easily. It also provides a useful example of how to invoke exec_task()
with low overhead without a lot of the bitbake threading/UI overhead.
Significant changes:
* This patch changes the argument order so that the commonly used
and mandatory arguments come first.
* The taskhash file and dryrun options are now optional
* It now uses the bitbake logging mechanisms to provide processed
logging output to the console.
* The process handling to do with stdout/stderr redirection
are removed since they're no longer required.

Currently, anything whitelisted in the environment makes it into the worker
processes. This is undesireable and the worker environment should be as
clean as possible. This patch adapts bitbake sosme variables are loaded into
bitbake's datastore but not exported by default. Any variable can be exported
by setting its export flag.
Currently, this code only finalises the environment in he worker as doing so
in the server means variables are unavailable in the worker. If we switch
back to fork() calls instead of exec() this code will need revisting.

Pass task has informaiton to work processes, allowing full manipulation of
the hash data in the task context allowing checksums to be usable.
