It was pointed out that the current way the KERNEL_FEATURES variable
is appended in the base linux-yocto recipe doesn't allow the appended
features to be prevented in a layer without using python code and
a recipe finalize hook.
To allow easier overriding of 'extra' or 'optional' features that are
defined in the linux-yocto recipe, we create a KERNEL_EXTRA_FEATURES
variable. This variable can be set in a layer to define extra features
or cleared to prevent the recipe's extra features from being appended
to the core functionality.
