[PATCH 1/2] devtool: standard: fix update-recipe/finish --initial-rev override

[Babanpreet Singh <bbnpreetsingh@gmail.com>]

Since 900129cbdf ("devtool: add support for git submodules") the
--initial-rev option of update-recipe and finish has been broken: the
parse loop in _get_patchset_revs() deliberately skips the recorded
"# initial_rev ." entry from the workspace bbappend when an override
is passed, but the override value itself is never inserted into the
initial_revs dict. For a recipe without submodules the dict therefore
ends up empty and update-recipe/finish fails in patch mode with:

  ERROR: Unable to find initial revision - please specify it with
  --initial-rev

i.e. passing --initial-rev produces the very error message that
instructs the user to pass --initial-rev. Before 900129cbdf the passed
value simply took precedence over the one recorded in the bbappend.

Seed initial_revs with the override before parsing so the option
behaves as documented again; recorded values are still used for
submodules and for the main repo when no override is given.
