Old code that parse variable names in assignment commands behave differently for
variables that ends with special symbol for single-character variable names and
multi-character variable names. For example:
A+="1" # Change variable ${A}, '+' glued to '='
A+ = "1" # Change variable ${A+}
+="1" # Change variable ${+}, the '+' symbol not part of assignment operator
+ = "1" # Change variable ${+}
New code would always assume that '.=', '+=', and ':=' is assignment operator.
As result code like the following would raise parsing error
+="value"
While code with extra spaces would work as before
+ = "value" # Change variable ${+}
This change allow to catch issues in code that generate bitbake configuration
files in a manner like "echo ${VARNAME}+=${VALUE} >> conf/local.conf"
