Richard Purdie 8a82a3835c bitbake: ast/BBHandler/build: Add support for removing tasks (deltask)
Back in the depths of time we did support task removal. In the pre
AST days it was nearly impossible to continue supporting it, it wasn't
used so it was dropped. With the modern codebase we can easily now support
deltask and it would be very useful within the metadata since it can
massively simplify dependency trees.

As an example, a core-image-sato had 47703 inter task dependencies before
this patch and a patch to native.bbclass, afterwards with the noexec tasks
deleted, we had 29883. Such a significant simplification is worthwhile
and justifies adding a deltask operation to the system.
