Claudius Heine 95015045db implementation of environment variable passthrough
With this its possible to create custom environment variables within the kas
configuration file, that are passed through to the build environment:

    env:
      VARIABLE_NAME: "default variable value"

Those variables can be overwritten by variables of the environment kas is
started in:

    $ VARIABLE_NAME="overwritten variable value" kas shell ...

Those variables are also added to the 'BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE' variable list to make
them available to bitbake.

This is useful for instance storing sensitive information, that should not be
part of the configuration files or bitbake recipes.
