bitbake: Remove whitelisted vars from non-task deps
Though the value of variables in the BB_BASEHASH_WHITELIST is kept out of the checksums, dependency on them is not, at least for variables and non-task functions. In the code, the whitelist is removed from the overall task dep list, but not the individual variable deps. The result of this is that functions like sysroot_stage_all and oe_runmake end up with whitelisted variables like TERM listed in their dependencies, which means that doing a 'unset TERM' before building will result in all checksums for tasks that depend on those changing, and shared state reuse not behaving correctly. This is only really a potential issue for variables from the environment, as it's the existance/removal of the variable that's an issue, not its value, and the other whitelisted variables are set in our metadata. This which means in practical terms the only cases where this is likely to be an issue are in environments where one of the following are unset: TERM, LOGNAME, HOME, USER, PWD, SHELL. This may seem like an unlikely circumstance, but is in fact a real issue for those of us using autobuilders. Jenkins does not set TERM when executing shell, which means shared state archives produced by your jenkins server would not be fully reused by an actual user. Fixed by removing the whitelisted elements from the individual variable deps, not just the accumulated result.
