The "--no-patch" option used by the git downloader appeared on git
1.8.4. Systems with older git versions show an error and fall back to
the wget downloader, which isn't suitable for all the cases.

Some git repositories may be split into a master repository and
submodules. Up until now, we did not have support for submodules,
because we were using bare clones, in which it is not possible to
update the list of submodules.
Now that we are using plain clones with a working copy, we can retrieve
the submdoules.
Add an option to the git download helper to kick the update of
submodules, so that they are only fetched for those packages that
require them. Also document the existing -q option at the same time.
Submodules have a .git file at their root, which contains the path to
the real .git directory of the master repository. Since we remove it,
there is no point in keeping those .git files either.
Note: this is currently unused, but will be enabled with the follow-up
patch that adds the necessary parts in the pkg-generic and pkg-download
infrastructures.

We currently use git-archive to generate the tarball. This is all handy
and dandy, but git-archive does not support submodules. In the follow-up
patch, we're going to handle submodules, so we would not be able to use
git-archive.
Instead, we manually generate the archive:
- extract the tree to the requested cset,
- get the date of the commit to store in the archive,
- store only numeric owners,
- store owner and group as 0 (zero, although any arbitrary value would
have been fine, as long as it's a constant),
- sort the files to store in the archive.
We also get rid of the .git directory, because there is no reason to
keep it in the context of Buildroot. Some people would love to keep it
so as to speed up later downloads when updating a package, but that is
not really doable. For example:
- use current Buildroot
- it would need foo-12345, so do a clone and keep the .git in the
generated tarball
- update Buildroot
- it would need foo-98765
For that second clone, how could we know we would have to first extract
foo-12345 ? So, the .git in the archive is pretty much useless for
Buildroot.

Currently, we are using bare clones, so as to minimise the disk usage,
most notably for largeish repositories such as the one for the Linux
kernel, which can go beyond the 1GiB barrier.
However, this precludes updating (and thus using) the submodules, if
any, of the repositories, as a working copy is required to use
submodules (becaue we need to know the list of submodules, where to find
them, where to clone them, what cset to checkout, and all those is
dependent upon the checked out cset of the father repository).
Switch to using /plain/ clones with a working copy.
This means that the extra refs used by some forges (like pull-requests
for Github, or changes for gerrit...) are no longer fetched as part of
the clone, because git does not offer to do a mirror clone when there is
a working copy.
Instead, we have to fetch those special refs by hand. Since there is no
easy solution to know whether the cset the user asked for is such a
special ref or not, we just try to always fetch the cset requested by
the user; if this fails, we assume that this is not a special ref (most
probably, it is a sha1) and we defer the check to the archive creation,
which would fail if the requested cset is missing anyway.

The way we use it, gzip will store the current time in the header, which
leads to unreproducible archives.
Fix that by telling gzip to not store the name and date of the file it
compresses, with the -n option. Since it compresses its stdin, there was
already no filename stored; now there's even no date stored.
Note: gzip has had -n since at least 1.2.4, released in 1993, so
virtually every gzip out there nowadays has it.

Some users may provide custom download commands with spaces in their
arguments, like so:
BR2_HG="hg --config foo.bar='some space-separated value'"
However, the way we currently call those commands does not account
for the extra quotes, and each space-separated part of the command is
interpreted as separate arguments.
Fix that by calling 'eval' on the commands.
Because of the eval, we must further quote our own arguments, to avoid
the eval further splitting them in case there are spaces (even though
we do not support paths with spaces, better be clean from the onset to
avoid breakage in the future).
We change all the wrappers to use a wrapper-function, even those with
a single call, so they all look alike.
Note that we do not single-quote some of the variables, like ${verbose}
because it can be empty and we really do not want to generate an
empty-string argument. That's not a problem, as ${verbose} would not
normally contain space-separated values (it could get set to something
like '-q -v' but in that case we'd still want two arguments, so that's
fine).

When specifying BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION, a user may want to
specify the SHA of a reference different than a branch or tag.
For instance, Gerrit stores the patchsets under refs/changes/xx/xxx, and
Github stores the pull requests under refs/pull/xxx/head.
When cloning a repository with --bare, you don't fetch these references.
This patch uses --mirror for a full clone, in order to give the user
access to all references of the Git repository.

In 50c8b7e (support/download: support -q in all download backends), the
backend were made to respect the quietness of the main Makefile, when -s
is poassed on the 'make' command line. In doing so, they were all made
to be verbose by default.
However, the verbosity of some of the tools, like scp, is very high, and
is in fact intended for debug purposes.
Drop being verbose by default, just use whatever each tool deems normal
output. Only respect the quietness requested by the user.

Not all systems have /bin/bash (e.g. NixOS[1] doesn't). Buildroot
already uses /usr/bin/env shebangs for other interpreters (perl,
python), so why not bash?
This changes only the shebangs used by Buildroot itself; stuff installed
to the target system is left unchanged.
With this applied I can run Buildroot unmodified on NixOS.

The git helper uses gzip to compress the intermediate tarball. But gzip
removes the source file, and create a new file named by appending .gz to
the original file name.
Thus, we end up with output.gz, while the download wrapper expects jsut
output, and thus believes the downlaod failed.
Fix that by storing the tar from git to a temporary file, then pipe this
file to gzip's stdin, and redirect gzip's stdout to the output file.

When switching the git helper over to a shell script, a special case was
not carried over: in case the remote has the required reference, we
attempt a shallow clone, using --depth 1. However, this is not supported
when the remote is accessed with the http protocol.
Therefore, the download fails.
What happened before the conversion to a shell script was that the helper
in the Makefile would fallback to doing a full-clone.
This is the case and behaviour that were lost in the conversion.
To avoid making the script too complex, we only attempt a full clone if
needed. And we decide that a full clone is needed by default; we decide
it is unnecessary if the remote has the needed reference *and* the
shallow clone was successful.

DL_DIR can be a very precious place for some users: they use it to store
all the downloaded archives to share across all their Buildroot (and
maybe non-Buildroot) builds.
We do not want to trash this location with our temporary downloads (e.g.
git, Hg, svn, cvs repository clones/checkouts, or wget, bzr tep tarballs).
Turns out that we already have some kind of scratchpad, the BUILD_DIR.
Although it is not really a disposable location, that's the best we have
so far.
Also, we create the temporary tarballs with mktemp using the final tarball,
as template, since we want the temporary to be on the same filesystem as
the final location, so the 'mv' is just a plain, atomic rename(2), and we
are not left with a half-copied file as the final location.
Using mktemp ensures all temp file names are unique, so it allows for
parallel downloads from different build dirs at the same time, without
cloberring each downloads.
Note: we're using neither ${TMP} nor ${TMPDIR} since they are shared
locations, sometime with little place (eg. tmpfs), and some of the
repositories we clone/checkout can be very big.

The git download helper is getting a bit more complex. Fixing it in the
Makefile when it breaks (like the recent breakage with a non-existing
sha1-cset) proves to be challenging, to say the least.
Move it into a shell script in support/download/git, which will make
it much easier to read, maintain, fix and enhance in the future.
