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.

* Fix python3native inherit added in:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-virtualization/commit/?id=a1e3f5c92cdee7c4259b7be643bd829ce7c1efa3
to actually work
* also remove the work arounds for /usr/bin/python being python3
on the target device
* I haven't tested this in runtime - I don't use it, it was just
showing that do_configure error in "bitbake world" builds, the
scripts might need some changes to be really compatible with
python3, but it was broken already, now it at least builds
* upgrade to new version with
3c05f06e6a
would be nice by someone who actually uses this

While the recipe was functional under an image based on core-image-
full-cmdline, when tested with core-image-minimal runtime issues
appeared: Singularity was unable to create a filesystem within the
container. This change fixes this issue.

If Bash is not included by any other recipe, the recipe fails at the QA
check. This commit adds Bash to the list of dependencies, preventing
this issue.

Singularity is a container platform built on the principle of mobility
of compute. It is designed to be used on HPC clusters and, unlike
Docker, it does not require root access to mount an image. In addition,
it can use Docker images out-of-the-box and it can pull them from the
Docker Hub. For more information, see singularity.lbl.gov
This recipe enables building the Singularity container platform.
Additionally, it creates a symlink from /usr/bin/python3 to
/usr/bin/python, as well as a symlink to where python3 expects
CA certificates to be.
I have tested it on a Raspberry Pi 3: I successfully built and run
arm32v7 images from Docker Hub. Make sure you have the right image for
your CPU architecture: it defaults to amd64.
