[PATCH] meta-arm: fixup new override syntax usage

The placing of ' ' in combination with inline python variable
expansion can lead to missing/skipping the license file checksum
verification.
Fix this by using '+=' (which itself adds a space) instead of :append
(which concatenates strings without inserting a space)

By chance we had an incorrect checksum set as
meta-geosurv-bsp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a-leica_2.13.bb
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM += "file://docs/license.rst;md5=83b7626b8c7a37263c6a58af8d19bee1"
Which 'bitbake -e' would resolve correctly:
# $LIC_FILES_CHKSUM [3 operations]
# set /workspace/layers/openembedded-core/meta/conf/documentation.conf:268
# [doc] "Checksums of the license text in the recipe source code."
# :append /workspace/layers/meta-arm/meta-arm/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a.inc:57
# "${@bb.utils.contains('TFA_MBEDTLS', '1', ' ${LIC_FILES_CHKSUM_MBEDTLS}', '', d)}"
# append /workspace/layers/meta-geosurv-bsp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a-leica_2.13.bb:41
# "file://docs/license.rst;md5=83b7626b8c7a37263c6a58af8d19bee1"
# pre-expansion value:
# " file://docs/license.rst;md5=83b7626b8c7a37263c6a58af8d19bee1${@bb.utils.contains('TFA_MBEDTLS', '1', ' ${LIC_FILES_CHKSUM_MBEDTLS}', '', d)}"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM=" file://docs/license.rst;md5=83b7626b8c7a37263c6a58af8d19bee1"
Note the missing space in the pre-expansion value.
But the oe-core/meta/classes-global/license.bbclass check would miss.
This went unnoticed for a long time and over many clean-builds, as
it would only very rarily raise the QA error.
Sidenote:
I've looked over the meta-layer, but didn't spot any similar problems.
