Incorrect FILESPATH usages

[Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com>]

I have run across a problem where a main recipe is written in
such a way that makes using .bbappend impossible.  This happens
if the main recipe has an explicit assignment for FILESPATH.
In this case, the .bbappend is unable to add to that path, e.g.
to add a machine specific patch, etc.

I found all of these in the current meta-data:
   gthomas@zeus:/local/poky-cutting-edge$ find meta -type f | grep -v ' ' | xargs grep ^FILESPATH
   meta/classes/base.bbclass:FILESPATH = "${@base_set_filespath(["${FILE_DIRNAME}/${BP}", "${FILE_DIRNAME}/${BPN}", "${FILE_DIRNAME}/files"], d)}"
   meta/recipes-devtools/linuxdoc-tools/linuxdoc-tools-native_0.9.66.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/linuxdoc-tools-native/"
   meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-pygobject_2.27.91.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/python-pygobject:${FILE_DIRNAME}/files"
   meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-native_2.7.3.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/python-native/:${FILE_DIRNAME}/python/"
   meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-4.7.inc:FILESPATH = "${@base_set_filespath([ '${FILE_DIRNAME}/gcc-4.7' ], d)}"
   meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu-helper-native_1.0.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/qemu-helper"

   meta/recipes-graphics/clutter/clutter-gst.inc:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/clutter-gst"
   meta/recipes-graphics/clutter/clutter.inc:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/clutter"
   meta/recipes-graphics/clutter/clutter-gtk.inc:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/clutter-gtk"
   meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-lib/libx11.inc:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/libx11"

   meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot.inc:FILESPATH =. "${FILE_DIRNAME}/u-boot-git/${MACHINE}:"
   meta/recipes-support/libpcre/libpcre_8.32.bb:FILESPATH .= ":${@base_set_filespath([bb.which(BBPATH, 'recipes-support/libpcre/files', direction=True)], d)}"
   meta/recipes-core/dbus/dbus-ptest_1.6.8.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/dbus-${PV}"
   meta/recipes-core/eglibc/ldconfig-native_2.12.1.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/${PN}-${PV}/"
   meta/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc_2.17.bb:FILESPATH = "${@base_set_filespath([ '${FILE_DIRNAME}/eglibc-${PV}', '${FILE_DIRNAME}/eglibc', '${FILE_DIRNAME}/files', '${FILE_DIRNAME}' 
], d)}"
   meta/recipes-core/eglibc/cross-localedef-native_2.17.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/eglibc-${PV}"
   meta/recipes-core/uclibc/uclibc-git.inc:FILESPATH = "${@base_set_filespath([ '${FILE_DIRNAME}/uclibc-git' ], d)}"
   meta/recipes-kernel/systemtap/systemtap_git.inc:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/systemtap"
   meta/recipes-kernel/trace-cmd/kernelshark_1.2.bb:FILESPATH = "${FILE_DIRNAME}/trace-cmd"
   meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins.inc:FILESPATH =. "${FILE_DIRNAME}/gst-plugins:"

In my case, I wanted to write recipes-devtools/python/python-pygobject_2.27.91.bbappend
to add a patch I'm working on here.  The only way I could get my .bbappend file to
function was to remove the FILESPATH assignment from the main recipe.

I believe that most of these assignments are incorrect and should be removed.
I can send a patch for the one that I've built & tested, but I'm not sure I
should be mucking about with all the others...
