The 'meta' is old and not very useful. It empties PACKAGES and creates
recursive do_build dependencies.
We shouldn't need such recursive build dependencies any more so simplify the
code.
This does cause behaviour changes as some dependencies are no longer built.
It did show up issues with qemu-helper-native handling for example but those
issues look like real races and the underlying dependency chains were not
correct.

This change is probably high impact in that it changes behaviour the most of any
of the changes. It does make image builds use a lot less sstate and in theory,
if there are issues with failures from this, there are probably existing races.
It does also have CI impact as it changes the things which are built as not all
build tasks now run. Open to opinions on whether we should do this now or not.
I definitely like this change and want it in upcoming LTS in 2022, not
comfortable with rushing it into this release. It will cause fair bit of
work for rest of layers in ecosystem.
The meta class is pretty useless and should be removed regardless.
yes
Cheers,
Richard
