Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

As discussed, users should use a rootfs overlay or a post-build script
instead of a custom skeleton to override files installed by Buildroot,
so there is no point in having conditions when installing init scripts
or configuration files.

The configure step of the busybox package performs 'make oldconfig', which
causes the .config file to be updated. Thus, the .config file is more recent
than our stamp file .stamp_kconfig_fixup_done. On a subsequent build, our
dependency rules would kick in, and run the config fixup again, thus
kicking in the package's configure, build and install steps yet once
more, that, ad infinitum.
One solution is to modify kconfig-package to introduce an explicit touch of
the .kconfig_fixup_config_done stamp file, as post-configure hook.
Another solution, implemented by this patch, is to move the oldconfig call
from the package's .mk file to the kconfig-package infrastructure and make
sure it is done as part of the fixup commands. This way, the stamp file will
only be touched once, after the full fixup (including oldconfig) and no
endless rebuilds will occur.

This commit removes the version selection for the busybox
package. Busybox is very well maintained, and bugs are typically fixed
in a timely fashion. Moreover, regressions are fairly unlikely in this
very stable and well-tested tool.
Therefore, there isn't a very compelling reason to have a version
selection for Busybox since we don't accept such a version selection
for the vast majority of other packages, unless there is a strong
reason to do so.
Consequently, this commit:
* Removes the 1.19.4, 1.20.2 and 1.21.1 Busybox versions, patches and
default configuration file.
* Moves the 1.22.1 patches from package/busybox/1.22.1 to just
package/busybox/ like all other packages.
* Renames the default 1.22.1 configuration file to just
busybox.config.
* Adapts the busybox.mk makefile to encode the current version to
use.
* Adds appropriate options to Config.in.legacy. However, even though
the BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_22_X is removed, we don't add a
Config.in.legacy option for it, since it would cause a legacy
warning for virtually *all* users as most people are currently
using 1.22.x.

We support a busybox-menuconfig target so that the BusyBox
configuration can be adjusted as needed. However, depending
on what other packages are enabled, re-installing BusyBox
symlinks that duplicate "real" apps after the configuration
change can result in bad behaviors:
* At best, the BusyBox applet will be used after the
install, versus the desired "real" app.
* At worst, the built rootfs can become unbootable.
The BusyBox install.sh has some capability to avoid this issue
by means of a --noclobber option. By default, this option is
disabled. When enabled, the install.sh will not overwrite a
target file with a symlink or hardlink, be it an actual file
or a previously installed BusyBox link.
The install.sh's argument processing is somewhat broken, so this
patch simply changes the default value of the noclobber option
to on, rather than add --noclobber to the install.sh invocation.

The three typical packages that use .config files in buildroot copy the
config file at different times in the build process:
busybox copies its .config from the post-extract hook.
linux copies its .config in the configure_cmds.
uclibc copies its .config from the post-patch hook.
Copying the .config file from the configure step is the only way to properly
support an OVERRIDE_SRCDIR that does not yet have the .config file, because
the extract and patch steps are skipped in that case.
For example, when setting a BUSYBOX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR to a cleanly extracted
busybox tarball:
$ make busybox-dirclean busybox
rm -Rf [..]/output/build/busybox-custom
>>> busybox custom Syncing from source dir
>>> /home/tdescham/repo/contrib/busybox-1.21.1
rsync -au --exclude .svn --exclude .git --exclude .hg --exclude .bzr
--exclude CVS /home/tdescham/repo/contrib/busybox-1.21.1/
[..]/output/build/busybox-custom
>>> busybox custom Configuring
/bin/sed -i -e "/\\<CONFIG_NOMMU\\>/d"
[..]/output/build/busybox-custom/.config
/bin/sed: can't read [..]/output/build/busybox-custom/.config:
No such file or directory
make: *** [[..]/output/build/busybox-custom/.stamp_configured] Error 2
This patch modifies busybox.mk to copy the config file from the configure
step instead, as linux is doing, and fixing the described scenario.

Busybox does partial linking of its modules before linking everything
together into the binary. Those partial links are done without the
standard libraries, but that also means -ltirpc can't be found. In
addition, this probably fails horribly with static linking (untested).
The problem is that the LDFLAGS are also used in the partial links.
So instead, use CFLAGS_busybox, which is only used for the busybox
link step. Also make sure that this is passed through the environment,
not on the command line, so the busybox Makefile can still append to
it.

Instead of making the Busybox configuration more complicated by trying
to adjust it depending on whether RPC is available or not (which gets
complicated when RPC support can be provided by libtirpc), simplify
things by letting the user enable FEATURE_NFS_MOUNT or not depending
on whether RPC support is available or not.
Our default configuration do not enable FEATURE_NFS_MOUNT, so users
will not face any build problems by default. Only if they explicitly
enable FEATURE_NFS_MOUNT will they have to make sure that the
toolchain has RPC support, or that libtirpc is enabled (support for
this added in a followup patch).

- devtmpfs method enables this feature in kernel
- mdev method adds mdev starting script to the file system

- udev method selects udev for installation
All dynamic methods are based on devtmpfs, so one doesn't need to care
