If a recipe set UNPACKDIR to a directory that is not contained within
WORKDIR, before this modification, this generates the following error:
"S should be set relative to UNPACKDIR."

S should not be updated, otherwise the recipe may not find the extracted
sources. In all recipes, S should reference the UNPACKDIR variable.
There is an exception for the kernel to prevent infinite recursion
when expanding the STAGING_KERNEL_DIR variable.

So, only updates UNPACKDIR to be within the DEVTOOL_TEMPDIR directory.

I have done various testing, but since I don't know all the requirements
of devtool, and all the impacts of this change, I may have broken some
stuff (I hope not).

This patch fixes the following command:
 - devtool upgrade sbom-cve-check-update-cvelist-native

It does not break the following commands:
 - devtool upgrade linux-yocto
 - devtool upgrade python3-sbom-cve-check

For reference devtool has a strong test suite and you can run it with
"oe-selftest -r devtool".
