xilinx-fetch-restricted.bbclass: Custom fetch task for restricted files

This class overrides the default fetch task available from base.bbclass.
This overridden task prevents the downloading from URLs that match
against the 'xilinx.com/member/forms/download' which require user
credentials and may require agreement with EULAs, licenses, export
compliance, etc.

The overridden task does however allow fetching from PREMIRRORs, which
allows for pre-downloaded content to be accessed in an automated way.

When attempting to fetch the non-accessible files the fetch task will
error and present the user with a message informing them that they need
to manually download the content and the url which to download the
content from.

The purpose of this is to reduce the reliance on manual documentation
and or processes which instruct users to complete manual steps which can
be error prone, ambiguous and or just tedious. This also aims to make
automation easier by allowing use of pre-downloaded content or user
PREMIRRORs to access downloads.
