Patchwork [1/5] binconfig.bbclass: search configs in D instead of S

Searching for binconfig in S makes more problems than it
brings benefits. Searching in the installed root seems to be more logical.

Fixes following subtle breakages:
- binconfig are populated with a different name that upstream intended
- populated binconfig files that were not intended to be populated

It fixes at least ncurses, which populates ncurses-config instead of
ncurses5-config and ncursesw5-config, causing secondary breakages.

Is `alsa-utils` – as written in your introduction 0/5 – the only
secondary breakage you found? Is that a run time problem? I can build
`alsa-utils-1.0.24.2-r1` just fine using `minimal`.

I am adding Enrico to the CC since he did a lot of Ncurses work and
maybe can also share his opinion.

yes; I submitted a similar patch [1] because it is required by ncurses.

Probably more breakages existed - basically anything that uses ncurses
may be broken. Due to ncurses breakage, alsa-utils probably used
ncurses?*-config from your host system, and as a consequence also host
system includes. It may work, it may break in runtime, it may cause
miscompilation. On hosts without ncurses development files build failed.
