rm_work.bbclass: introduce do_build_without_rm_work

Some classes, for example populate_sdk_ext.bbclass, must be able to
trigger a full build of a recipe without also triggering
do_rm_work. They cannot depend on do_build anymore, because that would
trigger do_rm_work.

Instead, do_build_without_rm_work can be used. It has the exact same
dependencies as do_build, minus do_rm_work and do_rm_work_all.

This may also be useful in a test build of a recipe where one wants
to preserve the work directory without having to modify configuration
settings:
   bitbake foobar:do_build_without_rm_work
