[yocto] change in base-files recipe does not trigger rebuild

[Jate S]

I'm posting this for reference.

The variable SIGGEN_EXCLUDERECIPES_ABISAFE in layer.conf specifically
excludes the recipe base-files because it is never supposed to change.

The appropriate way to modify /etc/profile is to add customizations to
the directory /etc/profile.d.
