Patrick Ohly ce84432d98 rm_work_and_downloads.bbclass: more aggressively minimize disk usage
rm_work.bbclass never deletes downloaded files, even if they are not
going to be needed again during the
build. rm_work_and_downloads.bbclass is more aggressive in minimizing
the used disk space during a build, but has other disadvantages:
- sources required by different recipes need to be fetched once per
  recipe, not once per build
- incremental builds do not work reliably because sources get
  removed without ensuring that sources gets fetched again

That makes rm_work_and_downloads.bbclass useful for one-time builds in
a constrained environment (like a CI system), but not for general use.

# This class is used like rm_work:
# INHERIT += "rm_work_and_downloads"
#
# In addition to removing local build directories of a recipe, it also
# removes the downloaded source. This is achieved by making the DL_DIR
# recipe-specific. While reducing disk usage, it increases network usage (for
# example, compiling the same source for target and host implies downloading
# the source twice).
#
# Because the "do_fetch" task does not get re-run after removing the downloaded
# sources, this class is also not suitable for incremental builds.
#
# Where it works well is in well-connected build environments with limited
# disk space (like TravisCI).

# This would ensure that the existing do_rm_work() removes the downloads,

# Instead go up one level and remove ourself.
