[PATCH] bitbake-layers: avoid loading configuration when not needed

[PATCH] bitbake-layers: avoid loading configuration when not needed

[Paul Eggleton]

In recent versions of bitbake, it is not possible to initialise a
BBCooker object without having it load the configuration first. Thus we
should avoid creating the Tinfoil object here in bitbake-layers which
does that internally until we actually need to, so you can run
"bitbake-layers help" and not have to wait several seconds for the
output.
