Add portdbapi support for a metadata/layout.conf file which
specifies information about the repository layout. Currently,
only a single "masters" attribute is supported, which is used
to specify names of repositories which satisfy dependencies
on eclasses and/or ebuilds. Each repository name should
correspond the value of a repo_name entry from one of the
repositories that is configured via the PORTDIR or
PORTDIR_OVERLAY variables.
Since layout.conf is now used to control eclass inheritance,
it is now safer to use overlays which contain forked eclasses
have names identical to those from the main tree. Such
eclasses will only apply to their containing repository and
any other repositories which reference their containing
repository via layout.conf. This solves bug #124041 by
containing eclass overrides so that they don't necessarily
apply to all ebuilds.
Thanks to Alistair Bush <ali_bush@g.o> for his initial patch
for layout.conf support in repoman (will be merged later).
