Following the issues reported by Jerry <g4@novadsp.com>, it appears
that there are a number of U-Boot configuration variables we are not
checking properly, leaving users with weird behavior at build time.
This commit extends the existing U-Boot checks to verify that when a
custom version, custom tarball, or custom Git or Mercurial
repositories are selected, the appropriate fields are not empty in the
configuration.

Since syslinux can now install quite a number of files, install
them in a sub-directory of $(BINARIES_DIR) for clarity.
It also aligns it to rpi-firmware, grub2, gummiboot, that install
all of their files in a sub-dir of $(BINARIES_DIR), too.

This new version has a very, very weird build system. There are different
images that syslinux can now build:
- the plain legacy-bios images we already supported previously
- two new EFI32 and EFI64 applications
To build one or the other, the Makefile accepts one or more of:
make (bios|efi32|efi64)
Specify all of them, and it builds all. Specify 'install', and it installs
all of them, as one may expect.
Still a regular behaviour, is to build only a subset (down to one):
make bios <-- builds just the legacy-bios images
make efi32 bios <-- builds just the legacy-bios and efi32 images
Where it gets weird is the install procedure. Can you guess how it's done?
Hint: the syslinux guys have invented the multiple-argument parsing in
pure Makefiles. To build then install only the bios images, one would do:
make bios
make bios install
Yep, that's it. make bios install. Two arguments, one action.
That makes for some funky workarounds in our install procedure...
'bios' is the only image we support so far, with efi to come in a future
patch.
Using MAKE1, as there are issues with highly-parallel builds.

Currently it is possible to choose either, both or none of
the pxelinux or isolinux images.
But it does not make sense to build none or both, as we need
at least one to boot the target, and the target can not use
more than one.
So, we need one and only one image to be selected at once.

In 1cece2813b (grub: add option to
configure the list of supported filesystems), we introduced the
BR2_TARGET_GRUB_FS_SUPPORT option which allows to provide a
space-separated list of filesystems that Grub should support.
However, it turns out that this not very practical, because the
iso9660 filesystem logic in Buildroot should force the ISO9660 support
to be enabled in Grub, which is not easy to do with a string option.
Therefore, this patch changes this option from a string option to a
list of boolean option, one per filesystem supported.
A few useful details:
- Since Grub legacy is dead, the list of filesystem, and therefore
the number of options, will not grow.
- We have only added options for filesystems that are likely to be
used in an embedded Linux context. Filesystems such as VSTAfs,
Minix, UFS2 or FFS2 are not supported.
- There is no need to add some Config.in.legacy support for the
previous option, since it was added after Buildroot 2013.11, and
was therefore never part of an official Buildroot release.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

Grub can be configured to enable or disable the filesystems supported
in the stage 2. In addition, there are filesystem specific stage
1.5. In order to save space and build time, we provide a new option
that allows to give a space-separated list of filesystems that Grub
should support.
We default to support FAT and ext2, since most of the other
filesystems are fairly unlikely to be used.
We use this option to:
1) Pass --enable-<fs> or --disable-<fs>, which enables/disables the
support of <fs> in Grub stage 2.
2) Install only the stage 1.5 that correspond to the selected
filesystems.

This commit brings a number of improvements to the grub packaging:
* It builds grub with the host compiler, which is needed so that we
can build a 32 bits grub even if the target architecture is
x86-64. To make sure we have a host compiler capable of generating
32 bits code, grub now selects the BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER
option. Building with the host compiler is done by cheating and
passing $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) in GRUB_CONF_ENV.
* Some additional CFLAGS are added to make sure grub builds properly
with modern compilers (-O0, --build-id=none, -fno-stack-protector).
* Removal of the GRUB_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS which were not used, since
GRUB_INSTALL_STAGING was not set to YES.
* Installation of the "grub" binary in $(HOST_DIR) instead of
$(TARGET_DIR) since it's actually used only on the host to install
grub into an image or device.
* Removal of the grub uninstall commands, since they are generally
considered useless.
