[AUH][PATCH v2 3/9] upgrade-helper.py: allow to set the git directory from layer-dir

From: Daniel Turull <[email protected]>

Replace the assumption that the poky directory is the first PATH entry
and reuse --layer-dir to setup directory for git repo.

This is useful when not using poky and each meta-layer is its own git.
Without this fix, commit_changes fails in non-poky layouts:

  git add .../openembedded-core/meta/recipes-support/gnupg
  fatal: '.../openembedded-core/meta/recipes-support/gnupg'
  is outside repository at '.../yocto-scarthgap'
