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.

When the go-lang container recipes were first created there were issues
with strip and the resulting binaries. As such, strip was inhibited for
the various packages.
This variable is now set in the default classes, and tests show that
strip works on the binaries (saving up to 2M on disk for some binaries)
with no runtime issues found.
So we drop our explicit set of the inhibit and let the build proceed
by the defaults.
If issues are found, we can re-enable the setting or bbappends can
turn it back on for builds showing issues.

runv needs a kernel and initrd as part of its startup. The tested
configuration for these is hyperstart, so we add it to the rdepends
to ensure it is installed.

Introducing runv, which is a Hypervisor-based Runtime for OCI.
runV is compatible with OCI. However, due to the difference between
hypervisors and containers, the following sections of OCI don't apply to runV:
- Namespace
- Capability
- Device
- linux and mount fields in OCI specs are ignored
- Hypervisor
The current release of runV supports the following hypervisors:
- KVM (QEMU 2.1 or later)
- KVM (Kvmtool)
- Xen (4.5 or later)
- QEMU without KVM (NOT RECOMMENDED. QEMU 2.1 or later)
