[yocto] Buildhistory web interface

Hi all,

As part of working on buildhistory[1] I developed a Django-based web 
application for reviewing warnings generated by analysing the output, and 
finally it has reached a state where I can release it. It's fairly basic but 
provides the following features:

 * Generate warnings and import them into a database for the web UI
 * List queued and reviewed warnings
 * Show details on a warning
 * Review a warning as "Action required", "Resolved" or "Ignored"
 * Comment on a warning
 * User authentiation and registration

Since it's really separate from the metadata it has been published in a 
separate repository:

  http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/buildhistory-web/

There's a screenshot here:

Some further details on how to set it up and use it can be found in the README 
within the repository:

  http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/buildhistory-web/plain/README

There's probably some room for improvement especially with how the warnings 
are presented, and the code to generate the warnings (which is within the 
metadata and is shared with the existing buildhistory-diff command line 
utility) may benefit from some further work also. I'm by no means a web 
development expert either so if you have any suggestions or patches in that 
regard I'd be happy for those as well.

Cheers,
Paul
