bitbake: ast: Fix fragment behaviour with overrides

Imagine a machine fragment machine/A and a configuration which sets:

MACHINE = "B"
MACHINE:forcevariable = "C"

As I understand it, the fragment behaviour was intended to replace the
MACHINE = "B", so the override would still be active. The current code
replaces all variable overrides.

parsing=True, switches to the other behaviour, which I believe was the
design intent and the behaviour users would expect.

This is useful to allow test configurations to override a MACHINE setting
without change the fragments which would complicate the test code.
