Subject: RFC bitbake patch: siggen.py: report individual changes to dict

I found it quite difficult to find the actual change among the copious
output of bitbake-diffsigs when the environment differs so I came up
with this to simplify the reporting.

-----8<----

    siggen.py: If changed variable is a dict then report the individual values
    that have changed
    
    If the signature has changed due to a variable changing and that variable
    is a dict then try and report the individual values that have changed.
