Adrian Freihofer f997a192d6 devtool: ide-sdk remove the plugin from eSDK installer
The ide-sdk command bootstraps the SDK from the bitbake environment
before the IDE configuration is generated. In the case of the eSDK
installer, the bootstrapping is performed during the installation of
the eSDK installer. Running the ide-sdk plugin from an eSDK installer
based setup would require skipping the bootstrapping and probably taking
some other differences into account when generating the IDE
configurations.

This would be possible. But it will probably never be implemented, as
running devtool ide-sdk directly from the bitbake environment is much
more flexible.
Also, some of the recent improvements that have made it into the core
have the potential to make the eSDK installer obsolete at some point in
the future:
- bitbake-layers create-layers-setup replicates the layers
- bitbake-config-build replicates the build configuration
- The new sstate mirror features replicate the sstate
- bblock locks the sstate more flexible than the eSDK installer
- devtool ide-sdk bootstraps the SDK directly from the bitbake
  environment. The same environment-setup... file is provided with
  --mode=shared.
  The devtool modify based workflow is supported since always by devtool
  and also the default --mode of devtool ide-sdk.
These functions essentially cover what the eSDK installer does without
a need for the current implementation of the eSDK installer and the
populate_sdk_ext, which is hard to maintain and takes a lot of time to
build.
This means that instead of making the ide-sdk plugin compatible with the
eSDK installer, we should rather replace the current implementation of
the eSDK installer and populate_sdk_ext with an implementation that can
replicate a normal bitbake environment in a convenient way where the
ide-sdk plugin also just works without additional complexity.
