Enrico Scholz 358016f463 bitbake: support $BITBAKE_UI environment

Patch adds support for a $BITBAKE_UI environment variable which allows
to configure the preferred user interface. Although an '-u' option
(which will override the environment variable) exists already, it was
required to specify this option on every invocation of bitbake.

Because user interface is instanciated very early in the program it is
not possible to use bitbake.conf for setting up a default.  An
environment variable (which acts in a similar category like $PAGER or
$EDITOR) is a simple way for configuring the default.

README

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.

For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
