Paul Eggleton 7d5c9860de bitbake: tinfoil: rewrite as a wrapper around the UI
Rewrite tinfoil as a wrapper around the UI, instead of the earlier
approach of starting up just enough of cooker to do what we want. This
has several advantages:

* It now works when bitbake is memory-resident instead of failing with
  "ERROR: Only one copy of bitbake should be run against a build
  directory".

* We can now connect an actual UI, thus you get things like the recipe
  parsing / cache loading progress bar and parse error handling for free

* We can now handle events generated by the server if we wish to do so

* We can potentially extend this to do more stuff, e.g. actually running
  build operations - this needs to be made more practical before we can
  use it though (since you effectively have to become the UI yourself
  for this at the moment.)

The downside is that tinfoil no longer has direct access to cooker, the
global datastore, or the cache. To mitigate this I have extended
data_smart to provide remote access capability for the datastore, and
created "fake" cooker and cooker.recipecache / cooker.collection adapter
objects in order to avoid breaking too many tinfoil-using scripts that
might be out there (we've never officially documented tinfoil or
BitBake's internal code, but we can still make accommodations where
practical). I've at least gone far enough to support all of the
utilities that use tinfoil in OE-Core with some changes, but I know
there are scripts such as Chris Larson's "bb" out there that do make
other calls into BitBake code that I'm not currently providing access to
through the adapters.

Part of the fix for [YOCTO #5470].
