Currently it is always required to add package version as an argument to
the github helper. Since the version is always defined as PKG_VERSION,
drop this argument and generate it automatically inside the helper
routine.
The github helper function is extended to support both 2 and 3 argument
variants (ie. either use the provided package version argument or
automatically substitute with PKG_VERSION if not available), which can
make the transition of the package files easier as well allows using the
3-argument variant outside of package definitions.

When we have multiple versions for a package, and the licensing terms
depend on the version actually selected (e.g. like Qt5), storing the
hashes for those license files in the .hash file is broken: the infra
will ensure that all hashes for a file do match, which would not be the
case here.
We fix that by first looking for a hash file in the version sub-dir
first, and if that does not exist, then we use the main hash file.
Drop the useless intermediate variable 'ret'.
Update the documentation accordingly.

Make inclusion ordering of all linux-tool-*.mk sub-makefiles explicit
instead of relying on alphabetical sort order. This is done by
renaming the Linux tools sub-makefiles to the format linux-tool-*.mk.in.
This causes the top-level Makefile to ignore the Linux tools
sub-makefiles.
Until now, the main Makefile included all linux-tool-*.mk files, as
well as linux-tools.mk, and it relied on alphabetical sorting to
include them in the proper order (linux-tool-*.mk before
linux-tools.mk).

We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised
that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local.
So document this.
Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented:
When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an
<pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to
download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use
the source code available in in the specified directory.

This commit updates the manual about hashes, fixing a number of
issues:
- Adding the .hash file should no longer be optional: it *must* be
added. Therefore the wording "You can add ..." is changed to "When
possible, you must add ...".
- We are now checking hashes for Git downloaded packages, so fix this
as well, and indicate more clearly which download methods have hash
checking.
- We no longer want to have auto-generated patches be downloaded
through <pkg>_PATCH because such patches are not stable over time,
and their hash can change. For example, downloading patches from
github.com should no longer be done.

After some discussion, we found out that "tools" has the four first
letters identical to the "toolchain" subfolder, which makes it a bit
unpractical with tab-completion. So, this commit renames "tools" to
"utils", which is more tab-completion-friendly.
This has been discussed with Arnout and Yann.

Add brmake, a small script that redirects the build output log to a
file, keeping just Buildroot's own messages, with the date+time added
at the start of the line.
We need to unbuffer the output of make so that, when the script is
interrupted (SIGINT, ^C), there is no lingering output not yet digested
by the logger loop.

The advantages of using a pre-existing coding style instead of creating
our own are:
- documenting on the manual takes a single sentence;
- there are automatic tools to help during development/review.
So document that PEP8 recommendation should be followed.
