Filter USE flags to update_chroot when calling build_packages

Project Member Reported by manojgupta@chromium.org, Nov 27 
Setting USE flags and then calling build_packages also passes the USE flags to update_chroot. This causes confusion when specially when building sanitizers/fuzzers etc (See  bug 908931 ).

passing --skip_chroot_upgrade would avoid the problem but most devs are not used to passing this when calling build_packages.

It would be nice if build_packages could clear the USE flags being passed when calling update_chroot.

i don't think we should do this.  there are some USE flags that should be used in both places.

adding a dedicated <bikeshed>--board_use</bikeshed> option sounds reasonable though so people can explicitly set it for the board.
