vcdbg is a tool to help debug the communication with the GPU.
It comes as a binary-only, and in two flavours: one for the hard
floating point ABI, one for the software floating point ABI.
Unfortunately, we have no source code for that tool, only a binary that
was dynamically linked with glibc and libraries from rpi-userland.
So, just install that executable, and let's hope there is no symbol
issue at runtime.
Note: vcdbg needs glibc, threads and !static. Since glibc already
implies threads and !static, we only need to depend on glibc.

Currently, Buildroot does not support building the overlays that are
bundled in the Linux kernel, so all we can do is install the ones
pre-built in rpi-firmware.

The binary .dtb files are not suitable for everyone as they are
kernel-version specific.
Reintroduce BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTBS option.

Add an option to install all the DTBs:
- standard DTBs for standalon A/B and A+/B+ models;
- overlay DTBs for the 'hats' addon boards.
Install the DTBs as per the traditional layout expected by all RPi
users, that is:
- base DTBs alongside the other boot files;
- overlay DTBs in a sub-directory.
This requires the user provide a specially configured Linux defconfig
file, as the default ones do not enable USE_OF.
[Thomas: adjust comment explaining why we use a different version when
installing the DTBs is selected.]

Since only one firmware is used to boot the Raspberry Pi, there is no
reason to install all of them.
Add an option to select what firmware to install.
