[PATCH v3 02/13] coreutils: Convert confusing append to override syntax

:class-target overrides for PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN and RDEPENDS:coreutils
were being appended to with the coreutils-stdbuf, but instead of being
an append only for target builds, it was actually overriding those
variables.

One could replace `:class-target +=` with `:append:class-target =`, but
I don't think there is actually any need for this to be :class-target
specific. RPROVIDES:coreutils few lines below doesn't use that override.
