[yocto] Two recipes install the same file

[Chuck Wolber]

I have run across this a few times, particularly with man pages, when
including upstream packages into my images.

I have to use a bbappend recipe in my meta layer to remove the lower
priority version.

I quite like the feature because it ensures that all collisions are known
and dealt with in a clear and formal way.
