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.

libcap provides a set of tools to manipulate capabilities, among which
`setcap(8)` and `getcap(8)`. A new menu entry has been added to install them.
[Thomas: mark the new option as requiring MMU support, because the
programs use fork(), and completely rework the new .mk logic as it
wasn't taking into account the BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB case.]

With BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB, libcap fails to build:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/619bceb3491ecd2ed4e1ae552fdb237a0ed2fa47/build-end.log
This is due to the fact that it still tries to build a shared
library. This commit fixes that by adding a patch that makes libcap
provide install-shared/install-static targets. We also now only build
the $(@D)/libcap subdirectory, so removing the build of the progs
subdirectory is no longer needed.

libcap currently has one patch, but it is named using the old naming
strategy, which includes the package version, but not a patch
number. This commit switches this to use the new patch naming
strategy.
