bitbake: data_smart: Improve performance for VariableHistory

Fixed:
- BBMULTICONFIG = "qemux86-64 qemuarm64" and more than 70 layers in BBLAYERS
$ bitbake -p -P
Check profile.log.processed, the record() cost more than 20 seconds, it is less
than 1 second when multiconfig is not enabled, and there would be the following
error when more muticonfigs are enabled:

Timeout while waiting for a reply from the bitbake server

Don't change the type of loginfo['detail'] or re-assign it can make record()
back to less than 1 second, this won't affect COW since loginfo is a mutable
type.

The time mainly affected by two factors:
1) The number of enabled layers, nearly 1 second added per layer when the
   number is larger than 50.

2) The global var such as USER_CLASSES, about 1 ~ 2 seconds added per layer
   when the layers number is larger than 50.
