[PATCH 1/1] Added a new cargo-online bbclass for recipes requiring remote crates

[Kareem Ibrahim <karem.ibrahim46@gmail.com>]

- This change was intended to abstract user from having to set compile network flag to get remote crates
- as network access was disabled by default in kirkstone version
- I faced an do_compile error with bitbaking Qualcomm qcrosvm under yocto kirkstone with message "Could not resolve host: github.com"
- And after some hours of debugging I noticed that cargo inherited by recipe needs remote crates during do_compile of the cargo.bbclass
- It was fixed by adding line do_compile[network] = "1" to the recipe
- So I found it more convenient, since cargo build usually need network access, to abstract users from these details of cargo.bbclass do_compile
