The `BBFILE_PATTERN_x` variables are regular expressions.
Hence, regular expression special characters such as `.`
need to be protected if intended to be used literally.
Bitbake facilitates this by automatically poviding a variant of the
`LAYERDIR` variable, `LAYERDIR_RE`, in which all regex special characters
are escaped (and are thus interpreted as ordinary characters).
`LAYERDIR_RE` should be used instead of `LAYERDIR` in the value
of `BBFILE_PATTERN_x`.
The Bitbake User Manual consistenly uses `LAYERDIR_RE` when assigning
to `BBFILE_PATTERN_x`. see Chapters 7 [1], "Variables Glossary",
and 9.4 [2], "The Hello World Example".

[2]: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-hello.html#the-hello-world-example
Note that this is a systematic mistake. Although
this patch addressse Isar, projects based on Isar
are likely to contain this mistake in their own layer configurations.
`BBFILE_PATTERN_x`/`LAYERDIR_RE` are the only
such pair in Bitbake documented in the user's manual;
the problem should not extend to other variable uses.
