bitbake.conf: Don't exclude MACHINE/MACHINEOVERRIDES from hashes
A long time ago (6 years), this seemed like a good idea. The reality is that OVERRIDES should not be being added to hashes and if it is, it likely needs excluding in its own right. This was a nice workaround but we need to fix the real underlying issues now. In some cases this means excluding OVERRIDES from the variables dependency using the vardepsexclude flag however caution is needed to ensure this is safe. Variable values used to construct hashes are unexpanded but the values used are computed after the application of OVERRIDES. The important detail is if the end resulting unexpanded value changes, not the value of the OVERRIDES used in the construction of that unexpanded value. This is why dependencies on OVERRIDES itself shouldn't be in the hashes in general. The recent DISTRO_FEATURES changes adding in override mappings for them highlighted this issue. We have some good sstate tests which are effective at highlighting where potential issues arrive with OVERRIDES contamination (oe-selftest -r sstatetests.SStateTests).
