[layerindex-web][PATCH] Fix parsing after AVAILABLE_LICENSES change

[Paul Eggleton]

In OE-Core commit 8c9ef587fe499c612a878a1ab42092eb79b334ef an
AVAILABLE_LICENSES variable was added in license.bbclass where its value
is assigned with immediate expansion ( := ) with the result that it
looks in LICENSE_PATH for licenses; in turn LICENSE_PATH refers to
COREBASE. You might assume that COREBASE is always set, and normally it
is (since it's set OE-Core's layer.conf) - but in the layer index
context we do not parse layer.conf until a bit later, so it immediately
fails. The quick way to fix this is just to set our own (correct) value
for COREBASE and then AVAILABLE_LICENSES can be expanded successfully.

You might ask why we don't instead just set BBLAYERS such that we *do*
parse OE-Core's layer.conf - the answer is that that can have other
effects such as BBFILE_COLLECTIONS being set, and at least at the moment
the rest of the code isn't expecting that.

Fixes [YOCTO #13723].
