build-setup: explicitly set MACHINE and DISTRO

An OE based build system typically has three inputs from the user; the
machine target (MACHINE), the distro policy (DISTRO), and the package
content (aka image/recipe being baked).

Using TEMPLATECONF to generate local.conf attempts to map the machine
target and distro policy down to a single input but is an abuse of
TEMPLATECONF and places constraints on use of conventional OE metadata
structure paradigms.  For example a layer can only provide a single
local.conf.sample but can support multiple machine targets and distro
policy sets.

Formalize a "target" for the build-setup script to be the desired
MACHINE+DISTRO combination.  Explicitly declere the desired combination
for each target.  This allows layer authors full flexibility when
organizing their metadata.
