overlays should be able to package.mask and package.unmask as well as adding default useflags and USE_EXPAND

There are 2 different types of config files that you seem to be mixing here.  Look at `man portage` and note that there are different files supported in the /etc/make.profile/ section vs. the /usr/portage/profiles/ section.

- package.mask: available
- package.unmask: only user config setting, multiple locations are difficult due to ordering problems
- default use flags / USE_EXPAND: available (just put your own profile in the overlay)
