bitbake: bitbake: update help message for dump-signatures
The bitbake -S had been updated which always reuires an argument, so update the help info: - Add the two args in the help message: none and printdiff - Use type="choice" so that we can get more friendly error messages, for example: bitbake: error: option -S: invalid choice: 'printdiffX' (choose from 'none', 'printdiff') - dump-signatures=DUMP_SIGNATURES -> dump-signatures=SIGNATURE_HANDLER (Bitbake rev: 021b778fa4685bdde39e1a0f6c7c57632dcf792a) Signed-off-by: Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
