The libblkid library in util-linux uses fork. While it seems
potentially possible to disable the parts of the library that use fork
(the only parts using fork are parts related to LVM and Device Mapper,
which are said to be legacy as they are replaced by sysfs based
scanning, instead of having to fork to run a separate process).
However, since libblkid is used by:
- e2fsprogs, which uses lots of fork all over the place
- udev, which most likely will also need fork
There is not much point in making libblkid fork-less. As a
consequence, this commit makes util-linux/libblkid unavailable on
non-MMU architectures, and propagates the relevant dependency to the
reverse dependencies of libblkid.
This fixes the e2fsprogs build failure seen on Blackfin. The failure
was due to a configure test of e2fsprogs which was trying to link a
small test program against libblkid, which failed because there was an
undefined reference to fork() in the libblkid code.

This reverts commit 2746158497. This
commit is causing build issues when chfn/chsh are selected, due to bad
interactions with PAM. The initial submitter of the patch has agreed
to work on an improved version that fixes those problems, but in the
mean time, we revert this commit to prevent the problem from occuring
in the autobuilders.

Bump to latest 2.22.2 version and revamp available options.
* Remove the assumed enable/disable defaults since these seem to change
quite often, so do what's wise and always enable/disable things.
* Switch from build "X" menu options to just X, add some help and sort.
* Introduce new option to install binaries (or not) to reduce bloat for
packages that just need libblkid and/or libuuid.

addpart, delpart and partx are enabled by default so --disable now to
avoid build breaking when we lack libblkid.
Also select libblkid when it's enabled now.

Drop the dependency as it isn't really nice that other packages need
to select it, and kconf complains about it:
warning: (BR2_PACKAGE_E2FSPROGS && BR2_PACKAGE_USBMOUNT) selects
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS which has unmet direct dependencies
(!BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX)
Instead ensure that only the libraries are built by default, so
busybox applets are still used unless explicitly configured.

Remove the BR option and enable the configuration setting in the
uClibc defconfigs.
The BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option only adds very little overhead to
uClibc, and we have a number of packages needing it, so simply always
enable it - Simplifying the kconfig logic and the number of choices
users have to make.

Closes#529.
util-linux needs to link with libintl when locale support is available /
requested in the toolchain, similar to how it is done for avahi.
