New-style staging means it has no do_stage method defined anymore (and
not getting one thru things like autotools_stage.bbclass as well).
It will re-use the output of do_install() to populate staging and run QA
checks on.

You can check it building it and and looking for messages like "Legacy
staging enabled", which would tell you it's still using the old, slow
method.
