Some packages (mostly, out-of-tree) may want to install binary blobs for
another architecture, outside the locations we currently exclude, like
in /opt or whatever...
Add support in check-bin-arch to accept any arbitrary location, that
individual package can each request to excude from the check, when they
are installed.

utils/check-package complains as follows:
package/rustc/rustc.mk:10: possible typo: RUST_TARGET_NAME -> *RUSTC*
package/rustc/rustc.mk:18: possible typo: RUST_HOST_NAME -> *RUSTC*
As RUST_{HOST,TARGET}_NAME are related to the Rust compiler, it
sounds sensible to rename them to RUSTC_{HOST,TARGET}_NAME.
So update all rust related packages to use the new variables.

This reverts commit 1e5a8916b2.
The idea was that the version string can be derived because we know the
package name.
However, this patch does not account for the fact that $(pkgname) always
points to the latest pacakge scanned, which in all other situation we're
using it, is the current package, because it is used inside one ot he
xxx-inner macros that are $(eval)ualed. So $(pkgname) is evaluated
"early" and gets the expected value.
However, the github value is not in one of those macros, so it gets
evaluated "late", when doing the actual download. So, by that time,
$(pkgname) will expand to the last package scanned, which is actuall the
manual (without a br2-external tree).
That would require that the _SITE variable be assigned with the :=
assignment operator. This is weird, because that would make it the only
variable to require that, but only when using the github helper, which
is even less obvious and would cause a lot of trouble...
The obvious fixup would seem to be to use $(PKG) instead, because that
already contains the upper-case package name that vcan be used as a
prefix to variables.
However, that does not work either, because we have a check that forbids
a trsailing slash in _SITE, check that is done in pacakge/pkg-generic,
inside the xxx-inner macro, during the $(eval) call.
And at that time, PKG is not yet defined, because it is only defined for
an actual recipe.
So we can't seem to have a workable solution. So, just revert the patch.

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.
