[PATCH] scripts/oe-find-native-sysroot: fix get sysroot failed

[Hongxu Jia]

Calling oe-debuginfod in a build failed:
...
$ oe-debuginfod
|Getting sysroot...
|Error: NOTE: Reconnecting to bitbake server...
|NOTE: Retrying server connection (#1)... (18:55:53.009687)
|path-to-build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/elfutils-native/0.192/recipe-sysroot-native doesn't exist.
|Have you run 'bitbake elfutils-native -caddto_recipe_sysroot'?
...

While calling bitbake-getvar to get sysroot, the output of bitbake-getvar
was mixed with output from bitbake
...
NOTE: Reconnecting to bitbake server...
...

Improve the output of bitbake-getvar, filter out unrelated message

BTW: bitbake-getvar --quiet (Silence bitbake server logging) could not
skip above "NOTE: Reconnecting to bitbake server..." message from bitbake

But it should, and it's better to fix that. Otherwise we have to
plaster similar workarounds everywhere where bitbake-getvar is used in
scripts.

I see e.g. 'bitbake-getvar --value BBLAYERS | tail -1' is used
elsewhere, presumably for similar reasons.

Sure, submitted patch to bitbake to skip noisy output for bitbake-getvar
