A very common mistake done by our users is that they use
output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is
loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read
documentation, so it is not sufficient.
This patch adds a text file named
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why
output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The
process is:
* At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been
copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM
* In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before
launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this
file is not present in the generated root filesystem images.
Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two
reasons:
* It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in
capital letters inside system/skeleton/
* The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

We need more recent versions of config.guess and config.sub in order
to support the aarch64 architecture. Otherwise, all autoconf packages
fail to build with failures like:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/abcdbe1aaf1c203c82dc3e4ec8c002b9b9e550e0/build-end.log
We take this opportunity to turn the config.* patches into proper Git
patches, and note which Git commit of the config.git repository we
used as the original source.

graph-depends calls make to get the list of packages, and the
dependencies of each package.
When called out-of-tree, the Makefile is a wrapper that calls
the real Makefile, so make will spit out a line like:
make -C /path/to/buildroot O=/path/to/build-dir show-targets
which graph-depends wrongly believes is part of the target list.
Be silent when calling make, as we really only want the target
and dependency lists.

Create host-generic-package, host-autotools-package and
host-cmake-package macros. Such a macro is more intuitive to use than
the $(call ...,host) construct. Also it speeds things up by having
one less $(call ...) evaluation.
Also includes documentation update, but not for buildroot.html.

This allows to automatically collect material that may be needed to comply with
the license of packages that Buildroot prepares for the target device.
The core of the implementation is made by the following parts:
- in package/pkg-utils.mk some helper functions are defined for common actions
such as generating a warning, producing info about a package etc;
- in package/pkg-gentargets.mk, within the GENTARGETS framework, a new
<PKG>-legal-info target produces all the info for a given package;
- Makefile implements the top-level targets:
- legal-info-prepare creates the output directory and produces legal info
about Buildroot itself and the toolchain, which mostly means just warning
the user that this is not implemented;
- legal-info, the only target that is supposed to be used directly, depends
on all of the above and finishes things by producing the README files from
the various pieces.

Some toolchains, like the one built with buildroot itself, use hardlinks (for
example to link between the c++ and g++ binary). Unpacking such a toolchain
with the --strip-components options does not work correctly if the system tar
is too old (<1.17). Even recent releases of RedHat/CentOS still ship with
tar 1.15.
This patch checks for a suitable tar version (tar 1.17+) on the host system,
and adds host-tar to the host dependencies if none can be found.
host-tar is download and extracted as cpio.gz instead of tar.gz, to prevent
chicken-egg problem.

Sometimes, buildroot needs a certain host tool to do its job, e.g. tar. In
many cases, we expect this tool to be present on the host system, but this is
not always the case. Or maybe, the version on the host system is not
suitable, and we need a more recent one.
In some of these cases, instead of bailing out, buildroot could build the
package first (but only if the existing system package is not suitable).
To aid in detecting if a host package is suitable or not, this patch adds a
function suitable-host-package. When called with parameter foo, it will
execute check-host-foo.sh. This script should return either the path to the
suitable host package, or the empty string if no suitable package can be found.
The rules to determine whether something is suitable or not is left to
check-host-foo.sh and depends on foo.
An example usage of suitable-host-package is:
DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ += $(if $(call suitable-host-package,foo),,host-foo)
To avoid cluttering the existing dependencies.mk file, it includes any
check-host-foo.mk file. These files can be used to hold appropriate
dependency-related actions for foo.
