In order to be able to override the git repo used in a bbappend

My use case for this change is to try to build latest
systemd that is located in another repo than the one used
by the recipe (systemd.git instead of systemd-stable.git).
With this change this is possible to do by having SRC_URI, SRCREV
and SRCBRANCH in a bbappend.
Sorry but overriding these three things in a bbappend is a horrible
idea, and should not be done. Copy and tweak the whole recipe please.
Sure, I can do that. My aim for override those in a bbappend is just for
development purposes and nothing I plan to use in production or push in
public. My way of working when I realized this was to build latest
master of systemd that had a bunch of patches that I would like to test.
To do that I needed to change git repo to systemd.git. When tested I
plan to backport relevant patches that I need to add to current systemd
version in oe-core to my local layer until next systemd release. Then I
thought this could simplify things for more people. But I'm fine if this
is not accepted for upstream and I can work around that.
Best regards,
/Peter
