The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

Wget's builtin default of 20 retries before the backup site is used is
pretty excessive when a server is down.

This re-instates writing the version string in .config headers, and no
longer provides it as a kconfig symbol in .config (it is now a variable
in the Makefile, and in the environment).

It's not really necessary to differenciate the commands for checking out
or updating a repository. Only the path to the binary and eventual
top-level flags are useful to configure.

This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

Instead of asking the user about the GNU target suffix, just compute
it automatically from the other configuration options.

Instead of having a configuration option BR2_GNU_BUILD_SUFFIX, let's
use config.guess to guess the build system type.

Remove the BR2_UPDATE_CONFIG option which allowed to globally
enable/disable the replacement of config.{guess,sub} for
autotools-based packages. Doing it unconditionnally just works.

This option is barely used, no-one is maintaining it or extending
it. So let's remove it.

With multicores everywhere, 2 is probably a bit low - But atleast it's
better than the current default.
This extra parallelism also ensures we get to test the make dependencies
a bit more.

It speeds up configuration considerably.
If a package breaks due to wrong cache-entries, then the broken
other package has to be fixed, not the innocent bystander!
Put short: There is absolutely _no_ need to ever turn the cache off
unless you hack on autotools itself and goof.

Change to default Download dir so that different 'make O=<directory>'
commands will use the same location by default without having to
create a symlink in <directory> or having to export BUILDROOT_DL_DIR.

In the output directory, we now have
- build/ where all the packages are built
- images/ where the final kernel and rootfs images are stored
- staging/ the staging directory (containing the development files
and libraries compiled for the target)
- target/ which contains the target root filesystem
- host/ which contains all the host programs
- stamps/ which contains the stamps files
Therefore, the build_ARCH and toolchain_build_ARCH have been
removed. People willing to use the same Buildroot sources to compile
for different architectures are invited to use the O= command line
option for out-of-tree compilation.
