Applied with comment amendments, thanks.

Alex has updated the commit comment to reflect also the motivation for the
change. In the commit comment, please use complete sentences (first cap, period
at the end).

We had considered the split configuration in the beginning and have seen that
1. Yocto forks it, and 2. bitbake doesn't seem to support reading both by
itself. These were the reasons why we also forked the file.

(1) might be caused by the fact that there are no major bitbake users except
Yocto, so both are possibly not clearly separated. The separation has value for
Isar, since it clearly shows what is different, that is why I've applied the
patch.

(2) is worse, as IMHO, bitbake should do that itself and it doesn't
(https://github.com/ilbers/isar/issues/27). Concatenating configs is magic that
Yocto users do not expect, and this has to be documented. Could you provide a
patch for the manual?

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
