[PATCH][V3] oe-setup-builddir: substitute ##OEROOT## when using templates

[PATCH][V3] oe-setup-builddir: substitute ##OEROOT## when using templates

[Ross Burton]

oe-setup-builddir substitutes ##COREBASE## which seems like it should have the
same value as the variable ${COREBASE}.  In reality it doesn't as ##COREBASE##
is substituted with the value of $OEROOT (the location of the oe-init-build-env
script), whereas ${COREBASE} is set by oe-core to the parent directory of meta/.
If oe-core's meta/ isn't a top-level directory then ##COREBASE## and ${COREBASE}
have different values, which can lead to confusion.

To resolve this, deprecate (but still substitute) ##COREBASE## and substitute

Did you mean for this sentence to just trail off?

The problem with write commit messages with # in is that you're one
paragraph reformat away from lines disappearing...
