Adds variables that can be used to allow a recipe to pass extra
arguments to `waf build` and `waf install`. In most cases, you want to
pass the same arguments to `build` and `install` (since install is a
superset of `build`), so by default setting EXTRA_OEWAF_BUILD also
affects `waf install`, but this can be overridded.

Hi Armin,

Have no problem with this - most of my layers are compatible from
dunfell up to master but from meta-musicians (musicians seem to like
waf) I know that this can cause breakages for packages shipping (very)
old waf. Nothing unsolvable but...
Just out of my curiosity: Why add this patch to dunfell?
Cheers

Andreas
