[yocto] RFC: templates in Hob 1.5

[Barros Pena, Belen]

Hob in the 1.4 release will no longer have Templates. We removed them
because the functionality was poorly defined and seemed to cause some
confusion (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2935)

When we tried to define it properly, we realised that templates could be a
few different things, and that we should find out which of them is the
most useful. This email is my attempt to gather your thoughts on this
templates business.

I guess the key question to answer is: in your opinion, which parts of the
configuration should be saved as part of a Hob template?

If we can get some consensus, we might be able to bring Templates back in
the 1.5 release.

Thanks!

Belen
