Fixes#8186
Mkfs.jffs2 accepts a --pagesize parameter, which allows specifying the size
of the virtual memory page size of the target machine, where the image will
be used. (This is the value of the PAGE_SIZE macro in Linux.) In most cases
the parameter doesn't need to be set as the default value of 4 kB is usually
correct.
The parameter was used incorrectly in Buildroot -- it was set to the page
size of flash memory chip -- this commit fixes this problem. Now the
--pagesize parameter is not used at all (unless the user explicitly chooses
to use a custom value during configuration). All existing defconfigs were
corrected to match the new configuration variable names.
[Peter: reword, add Config.in.legacy handling]

This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra.
For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk.
It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package
override file.
It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's
patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file.
The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted
anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks.
The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET)
variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of
the uses of the variable is also delayed.

The common filesystem infrastructure in fs/common.mk uses a smart
combination of makedevs and fakeroot to create the device files in the
target filesystem images without being root. This technique is applied
to all filesystem formats that rely on this common infrastructure, and
JFFS2 is one of them.
Therefore, using the -D option of mkfs.jffs2, which allows to specify
a device table, is redundant with the usage of makedevs. And it is
worst than redundant: for some reason, -D does not create all device
files with the correct major and minor numbers, as reported in
bug #1771.
For coherence, we just remove the usage of mkfs.jffs2 -D option, and
rely on makedevs/fakeroot to create the device files.
This commit fixes bug #1771.
