bitbake: ast/event/utils: Improve tracebacks to include file and line numbers more correctly

Currently bitbake tracebacks can have places where the line numbers are
inaccurate and filenames may be missing. These changes start to try and
correct this.

The only way I could find to correct line numbers was to compile as a
python ast, tweak the line numbers then compile to bytecode. I'm open
to better ways of doing this if anyone knows of any.

This does mean passing a few more parameters into functions, and putting
more data into the data store about functions (i.e. their filenames
and line numbers) but the improvement in debugging is more than worthwhile).
