bitbake.conf, image.bbclass: Add and use USERDISTRO var to preserve original DISTRO value.
* Some distros override DISTRO var to hack overrides right, etc. Yet, original value may be needed sometimes. For example, bbimage expects DISTRO to be what user set/passed it, not something else. * TODO: After interim cleanup during preparation of this patch, it turns out that angstrom is the only distro to (ab)use DISTRO overriding. It may make sense to instead get its OVERRIDES value right.
