BitBake 'Fetch' git implementation

git fetcher support the SRC_URI with format of:
SRC_URI = "git://some.host/somepath;OptionA=xxx;OptionB=xxx;..."

Supported SRC_URI options are:

- branch
   The git branch to retrieve from. The default is "master"

   This option also supports multiple branch fetching, with branches
   separated by commas.  In multiple branches case, the name option
   must have the same number of names to match the branches, which is
   used to specify the SRC_REV for the branch
   e.g:
   SRC_URI="git://some.host/somepath;branch=branchX,branchY;name=nameX,nameY"
   SRCREV_nameX = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
   SRCREV_nameY = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

- tag
    The git tag to retrieve. The default is "master"

- protocol
   The method to use to access the repository. Common options are "git",
   "http", "https", "file", "ssh" and "rsync". The default is "git".

- rebaseable
   rebaseable indicates that the upstream git repo may rebase in the future,
   and current revision may disappear from upstream repo. This option will
   remind fetcher to preserve local cache carefully for future use.
   The default value is "0", set rebaseable=1 for rebaseable git repo.

- nocheckout
   Don't checkout source code when unpacking. set this option for the recipe
   who has its own routine to checkout code.
   The default is "0", set nocheckout=1 if needed.

- bareclone
   Create a bare clone of the source code and don't checkout the source code
   when unpacking. Set this option for the recipe who has its own routine to
   checkout code and tracking branch requirements.
   The default is "0", set bareclone=1 if needed.

- nobranch
   Don't check the SHA validation for branch. set this option for the recipe
   referring to commit which is valid in tag instead of branch.
   The default is "0", set nobranch=1 if needed.

- usehead
   For local git:// urls to use the current branch HEAD as the revision for use with
   AUTOREV. Implies nobranch.
