The non-SMP scheduler was deprecated with the Erlang/OTP 20.0 release and
slated for removal with the next major Erlang release. Since the non-SMP
scheduler isn't even built anymore, this option no longer has the
intended effect of saving space or compile time. The SMP scheduler
supports both SMP and non-SMP processors, so removing the option will
not break any platforms.
We do not need to add a legacy entry, because the new behavior is the
same as with the option previously set (i.e. SMP enabled).

Erlang can be built without threads support, by passing an
appropriate config option.
This commit drops the config dependency on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS
and instead passes --disable-threads if the toolchain doesn't support
threads.
While here, change the wording of the config comment to "dynamic
library" to be consistent with similar comments elsewhere.

The comment was missing the dependency on BR2_USE_MMU, and was using
'depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS && BR2_STATIC_LIBS' while it
should in fact be '!BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS || BR2_STATIC_LIBS',
since we want show the comment *either* when we don't have threads
*or* when we are building a purely static lib system.

For some platforms, hardware-assisted compare-and-swap may not be
available, so libatomic_ops will not provide it.
However, libatomic_ops can provide a purely software CAS emulation, but
must be instructed to do so. erlang just forgot to tell libatomic_ops
that it does require CAS.
Fix that by defining AO_REQUIRE_CAS before including atmoic_ops.h, like
is done in libunwind, as pointed out by Thomas.
Also, erlang has a convoluted, mind-alterating set on aclocal.m4 macros,
that just forgets to link against -latomic_ops when checking CAS is
available, so that even if CAS is available, configure chokes.
Since I would like to keep the little sanity I still have, just force
linking with -latomic_ops. This is useless when the check is natrally
sucessful (i.e. on platforms where CAS is available in HW), but we
would eventually link with -latomic_ops there, too; it's just redundant.
Overall, just consider that erlang requires libatomic_ops, so forcibly
depend on it, it is easier than trying to disable it. We can revisit
that whenever someone wants to run erlang on a platform for which there
is no libatomic_ops support.

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.

erlang wants to build shared libs, always.
So, disable erlang when we're building static-only.

Erlang builds two emulators depending on whether SMP is supported or
not. If it is known that the target does not support SMP, turning off
the SMP emulator saves compile time and reduces the size of the
installation.
