[PATCH v2] meta: Add support for FILESEXTRAPATHS

[vijaikumar.kanagarajan@gmail.com]

From: Vijai Kumar K <Vijaikumar_Kanagarajan@mentor.com>

OE-core provides FILESEXTRAPATHS to extend the search path for
files and patches. This is particularly useful when you want to
add more files or replace existing files using bbappend.

Bring in support for FILESEXTRAPATHS from OE-core.
