Hi,

This patchset contains various improvements for the image creation functionality
made by Patchick Ohly during his work on bug #9076:
 - fixed dependency calculation for conversion chaining
 - converted vmdk/vdi/qcow2 image types into conversion commands
 - renamed COMPRESSION variables to CONVERSION as the term "compression"
   is no longer accurate
 - prioritized specialized image creation methods over using conversion chaining

The changes look reasonable to me. However, it would be good to hear other
people opinions as some changes are quite complex.

Changes in v2: rebased on top of master-next
               returned image_getdepends back to image_types.bbclass

The following changes since commit a037ad93640d3d6373fe1db35f64307e9fbed4e9:

  bitbake: bb.codeparser: track variable flag references (2016-05-17 23:23:32 
+0100)
