[meta-ti] [PATCH] arm-benchmarks: port of am-benchmarks from arago

So the matrix-gui-armbenchmarks-demos package just contains the descriptors (the .desktop, etc) for the arm-benchmarks for matrix.  This information used to be in the arm-benchmarks recipe as a tarball, but we broke this up instead into a shared git repository and a recipe to package the arm-benchmarks part of that git repository.  So the idea here is that arm-benchmarks install their description data when they are installed.  If matrix or someone else happens to be looking at the .desktop files then they will discover that arm-benchmarks is available.  In this way the application brings his description data along with him.

The original intention was that for apps we controlled the application brought everything along.  However, some things that we don't control like the Qt demos have matrix-gui-xxxx recipes that do the dependency the way you are suggesting.  So to avoid confusion I will switch this around.  I'll update the patches and re-order everything so that this all makes sense.
