This patch forwards environment variables to control the concurrency and
parallelism of the build to bitbake.
With that, the user can reduce the concurrency in case of running short
on memory. Further, by reducing the concurrency on very large and NUMA
machines, the build sometimes can be significantly speed up.

Tools like wget and git can read credentials from $HOME/.netrc for
servers that require authentication. Allow users to pass in a .netrc
file into the kas home dir to support i.e. bitbake https fetching with
auth.

Gitlab CI predefine many variables in its environment, among them the
sever hostname and a token that can be used to authenticate with the
server. If we find these variables in the environment add the
credentials to .netrc which in turn allow git and other tools to
access resources found on the CI server.

Since 7b18e5ec3b, which was released with 0.19.0, proxy_config has no
effect anymore. No one seems to have missed it, likely because setting
the proxies via the config file was a mistake anyway. The environment
variables are the proper way.
Declare these config entries officially obsolete and warn if they still
hang around in some legacy config. We will drop them from the schema in
one of the next releases.

Additionally to the variable SSH_PRIVATE_KEY, which can be used to
reference a private key saved as a string within a variable (the previous
documentation falsely stated, that it references a path and has been
adjusted), the new variable SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE can now be used to reference
the path to a file containing the private key.

This allows to set a git credential helper in the .gitconfig, in order
to handle git authentications. For instance when bitbake recipes require
to clone from git via https.

This change makes the user guide page more readable and results in a
command line usage page which is easy to navigate as all sub-commands
can be found in the left-hand outline panel.
Also fix the layout of the environment variables table by using a
replacement.
