oe-core has started to warn when virtual/ is used outside of
the DEPENDS (build) context.
We tweak our rprovides/rdepends to use virtual- instead to
avoid the warning:
WARNING: RDEPENDS is set to virtual/xenstored, the substring 'virtual/' holds no meaning in this context. It is suggested to use the 'virtual-' instead.

OEcore/bitbake are moving to use the clearer ":" as an overrides
separator.
This is pass one of updating the meta-virt recipes to use that
syntax.
This has only been minimally build/runtime tested, more changes
will be required for missed overrides, or incorrect conversions
Note: A recent bitbake is required:

bitbake: data_smart/parse: Allow ':' characters in variable/function names
It is becomming increasingly clear we need to find a way to show what
is/is not an override in our syntax. We need to do this in a way which
is clear to users, readable and in a way we can transition to.
The most effective way I've found to this is to use the ":" charater
to directly replace "_" where an override is being specified. This
includes "append", "prepend" and "remove" which are effectively special
override directives.
This patch simply adds the character to the parser so bitbake accepts
the value but maps it back to "_" internally so there is no behaviour
change.
This change is simple enough it could potentially be backported to older
version of bitbake meaning layers using the new syntax/markup could
work with older releases. Even if other no other changes are accepted
at this time and we don't backport, it does set us on a path where at
some point in future we could
require a more explict syntax.
I've tested this patch by converting oe-core/meta-yocto to the new
syntax for overrides (9000+ changes) and then seeing that builds
continue to work with this patch.

This change changes the names of many packages produced: the
xen-tools recipe now builds packages previous built by the xen
recipe, so the package prefix changes from "xen-" to "xen-tools-".
A temporary bbappend is provided for qemu to ease the transition.
Multiple motivations for recipe separation:
- improves efficiency of incremental build and development
- supports building the hypervisor and tools with different toolchains
and for different architectures
Switch to using a git recipe on the Xen stable branch:
- enables easier tracking of critical XSA security updates applied
upstream by just advancing SRCREV along the branch
Revision has been set to the tip of the stable-4.12 branch, which
has the one XSA-312 patch applied on top of RELEASE-4.12.2.
The recipe refactor externalizes the block tap components, to enable optional
building of blktap in a separate recipe outside xen-tools, needed by OpenXT.
xenstored is made a virtual package to support switching between
alternative implementations (several exist).
Update xen-image-minimal to install the xen-tools package, which
replaces what was previously xen-base.
Determine the flask policy filename, which is Xen-version specific,
using the same method as the Xen build system.
qemu: update PACKAGECONFIG[xen] for xen package renaming: allows builds
to continue correctly in the meantime while openembedded core and poky
are updated.
