conf/bitbake.conf: add DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL
When introducing new items to DISTRO_FEATURES that control functionality that is already enabled, in order to leave existing distro configuration unchanged we need a way to "backfill" these new feature items onto the existing DISTRO_FEATURES value. This introduces a DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL variable whose items will be added to the end of DISTRO_FEATURES, unless they also appear in DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED which distros can use in their configuration to prevent specific items from being added. Fixes [YOCTO #1946].
