[PATCH 2/2] sanity.bbclass: Warn people when TERMCMD is set to a non-installed program

[Joshua Lock]

We default to gnome-terminal for TERMCMD (and TERMRUNCMD) so should check that
this program actually exists during sanity checking.

As a corollary document how to change these variables in the local.conf

[PATCH 0/2] Two patches to help new users

[Joshua Lock]

Here are a couple of patches to help new users out. 

The first documents some extra variables to set in local.conf when changing
GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES.

The second helps users ensure they have an appropriate terminal configured for
use in patch failure resolution.

Should these LOCALES be en_US, en_GB or BOTH?  I know we have had 
discussion on this in the past.

Let's be consistent on this please.

Sau!

Good catch. I think the GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES should be both as it was
before but as the IMAGE_LINGUAS and LIMIT_BUILT_LOCALES only need
changing if en_US.UTF-8 is removed they should not include en_US

Updated patch follows and branch fixed:
