Operating systems that can't handle filenames containing anything but
uppercase letters don't like to see 'strange' characters in filenames
such as the file and directory names yocto-bsp uses as part of its
templating mechanism. To fix this, we essentially add another level
of metadata into the template files themselves rather than into their
names, and add a processing pass that internally gives us what we had
before. Specifically:
- strange characters in filenames are moved inside the files they
apply to, to the first line of the file prepended with '#
yocto-bsp-filename {{...}} filename | this'
- strange characters in directory names are moved inside a new file
of the same name but ending in .noinstall and with the first (and
only) line of the file prepended with '# yocto-bsp-dirname {{...}}
dirname'
If the new filename contained in the yocto-bsp-* tag is 'this', the
filename is the existing name of the file. For a dirname, this would
be the filename with .noinstall removed.

yocto-bsp create does a 'git ls-remote
git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.4.git *heads*' to get the set
of existing branches from the kernel repo.
If the user isn't connected to the network, or if git isn't configured
sanely, yocto-bsp fails with an ugly Python backtrace.
We should try to avoid this by doing a basic sanity check for those
things before actually running the command.
The sanity check can be avoided by specifying -s on the yocto-bsp
command-line:
$ yocto-bsp create -s test qemu

Add a function that can be used to replace a template file by a
user-specified file. The initial use of this capability is to allow
users-specified defconfigs.
