This patch enables the usage of the '@' character in variable flag names. One use case of variable flags is to assign the network namespaces of some systemd services/targets to configure other parts of the build process of some system. The filenames of systemd services/targets might contain the '@' character if they are template unit files that can take in a single parameter/argument and be instanced multiple times, as indicated by systemd's official manual page. The '@' character is disallowed as the first character in a variable flag name. Imposing more restrictions on the first character is a compromise to make parsing easier and to allow for more options in the future to extend the syntax. This patch is successfully verified by creating a custom BitBake recipe that sets and unsets the value of a variable flag with the '@' character in its name and ensuring that no ParseError is being thrown. Regression tests have also been added to `bb.parse`. `bin/bitbake-selftest` has also been successfully executed and all tests passed.

Bitbake
=======
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
https://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org
Bitbake requires Python version 3.8 or newer.
Contributing
------------
Please refer to
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Mailing list:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/bitbake-devel

Testing
-------
Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
To run the tests "zstd" and "git" must be installed. Git must be correctly configured, in
particular the user.email and user.name values must be set.
The assumption is made that this testsuite is run from an initialized OpenEmbedded build
environment (i.e. `source oe-init-build-env` is used). If this is not the case, run the
testsuite as follows:
export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH
bin/bitbake-selftest
