This is a deviation towards upstream naming/versioning convention. In
this case upstream being Xilinx's vendor tree. This is also making atf
follow the same convention used by other Xilinx release versioned
recipes in meta-xilinx.

This change is also to handle the dual recipe versions (2016.3 and
2017.1), which would be broken if using "_git".

And "_git.bb" is normally used for recipes that point at
unreleased/non-final git srcrev's. It should not be used in this case
as the recipes point at specific known releases (Xilinx ones). Whilst
this recipe started out as a _git due to pointing to an unreleased
Xilinx tree, it was never updated to use its PV.

If you dislike the recipe filenames having just the Xilinx release
version, a more complete PV (aka. 1.2-xilinx-v2016.3) could be used
but that just seems unnecessary.

Nathan
