See the conclusion about external toolchains during the Buildroot
meeting [1]:
"In the future, we stick to a single external toolchain version. The
Kconfig symbol should not encode the version (avoid legacy handling)"

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.

Even though flann build system uses CMake, it always tries to build a
shared library, even if BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF is passed. It could
probably be fixed in flann's CMakeLists.txt, but that's not really
worth the effort if upstream doesn't support it.
Therefore, we simply disallow the flann package in purely static
builds.
