I noticed that INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE was not applying *-locale-*
packages at packaging time like other packages. This meant that if there
were *-locale-* packages with an incompatible license, they would still
be generated, and then the final image would likely fail when the
packages were added to it. This is actually not just a problem with
*-locale-* packages, but in fact any packages generated dynamically.

To fix this for all cases, the code to detect incompatible licenses in
packages is moved to a library function, and instead of using the
'_exclude-incompatible-' variable to transfer this knowledge from
base.bbclass to do_package, the library function is called a second time
in do_package. While slightly less efficient, this means that do_package
is checking the actual final list of packages for license exclusions,
make it accurate even when dynamic packages are added.

Finally, the last patch makes it possible to set the LICENSE field of
the generated *-locale-* packages, by making them match
LICENSE:${PN}-locale, if set. This provides a means for recipe writes to
affect the license of the split locale packages in the event that it
doesn't match the recipe LICENSE. This makes logical sense to me, but
please let me know if I'm missing some important assumption
