kernel-yocto: allow branch auditing to be suspended

When working on the yocto-bsp and kernel-lab update for yocto 1.2
we found it was impossible for a end-user BSP to isolate patches
on a branch, since with the following commit:

  [kernel-yocto: enforce SRC_URI specified branch]

Any new branch would be switched to whatever was specified on the
SRC_URI and undoing the work that the yocto-bsp tool did to support
board specific patches.

To fix this, we'll keep the enforcing of branch consistency enabled
by default, but introduce a variable "KMETA_AUDIT" that when not
set will skip the check.

There's no impact for existing users, and it is only something that
other plumbing commands and tools will need to use (or care about).

[YOCTO: #9120]
