As spotted by Eugen, BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_NEEDS_PYTHON3 currently
is outside the at91bootstrap section, because it was inccorectly added
after the 'endif' statement rather than before, which makes the
menuconfig layout weird.
Move it around.

Some at91bootstrap3 configurations now use Python scripts on the host
for NAND/PMEC related utilities. In order to be able to use those
scripts, this commit adds a new
BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_NEEDS_PYTHON3 which allows to express the
need for host-python3 as a dependency to build at91bootstrap3.

The project at https://github.com/linux4sam/at91bootstrap was until
now releasing 3.x versions, which were packaged using
boot/at91bootstrap3/ in Buildroot. Microchip has now started a new
branch of at91bootstrap, called 4.x, which will only support the
following devices: sam9x60, sama5d2, sama5d3, sama5d4, sama7g5. A
number of older devices from Microchip will only be supported by the
existing 3.x series.
Therefore, we cannot simply remove support for the 3.x series, and
allow using only the 4.x series.
So what this commit does is extend the boot/at91bootstrap3 package to
support building both 3.x and 4.x versions. In detail, this implies:
* Having the BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_LATEST_VERSION symbol point to
the latest 4.x version. Indeed, we want
BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_LATEST_VERSION to really point to the
latest upstream version, even if that means potential breakage for
users. Users who want to use a fixed version of at91bootstrap
should anyway not be using
BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_LATEST_VERSION.
* Introduce BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP3_LATEST_VERSION_3X for users who
would like to use the latest 3.x series.
* Adjust the installation logic, as images to install are now in
build/binaries/*.bin instead of binaries/*.bin. In order to not
have to differentiate 3.x and 4.x, we simply use $(wildcard ...) to
expand the list of files to install.
* To make it clear that boot/at91bootstrap3 supports both 3.x and
4.x, we also update the prompt of the package.
at911bootstrap does not carry a license file; so far we were using
main.c as the license file, as it carries the license blurb. Now that we
have a known alternate version, we would need a per-version hash for
that file. However, this is a bit too cumbersome to handle, so just drop
using main.c as the license file. When upstream introduces a proper
license file, we can revisit the situation.
Update the two defconfigs that were using the upstream 3.9.3 version;
all other defconfigs are using custom tarballs or custom git trees.

In preparation to add support for the SAMA5D3 Xplained board, this
commit bumps the version of the at91bootstrap3 bootloader to
v3.6.2. While doing this, it also:
- Allows this bootloader on Cortex-A5 based platforms, since SAMA5D3
are based on Cortex-A5.
- Removes a patch that no longer applies, and which has been taken
into account in at91bootstrap3 upstream.
- Switches to the upstream Github location as the source.
- Updates the installation commands to match upstream changes in the
installation process.

Note that this new package, at91bootstrap3, is being added alongside the
existing at91bootstrap. This was suggested by Thomas Petazzoni, whose
comments on the mailing list are quoted below.
For this package, I am not sure we can do a simple version bump. Since
there is (was?) no upstream for AT91Bootstrap 1.x, many
vendors/companies had to maintain their patches on top of AT91Bootstrap
1.x. See for example
board/calao/usb-a9263/at91bootstrap-1.16-usb-a9263.patch. Therefore,
removing AT91Bootstrap 1.x from the tree will prevent those platforms
to work. I know people should upgrade, but AT91Bootstrap 3.x is quite
significantly different, so the porting effort is not that simple.
Therefore, I'm wondering whether we should kee at91bootstrap as it is,
and create a separate package at91bootstrap3 for the 3.x generation.
