Description

Dear OpenGrok Developers,

Could you please add support for yocto project files, such as .bb, .bbapend, .bbclass etc. Nowadays yocto project is getting more and more popular for embedded linux. Currently yocto project files are rendering as plain text, without syntax highlighting. It's not very convenient.

Research direction
The issue requests adding syntax highlighting for Yocto project files (.bb, .bbappend, .bbclass). To implement, examine existing analyzers in the OpenGrok source code, particularly the Java analyzer, to understand the required structure. Look in the 'src/org/opengrok/analysis/' directory for examples. Since no linked PRs or recent comments exist, start by reading contributor guidelines and identifying the analyzer registration mechanism.
