Inspired on the confusion in [1], we want to warn the user that building
without busybox may not lead to a working system.

BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS is a bit special. When Busybox is
enabled, it is a Busybox option. When Busybox is not enabled, it is a
stand-alone option, forcibly enabled.
So we can safely 'select' it without ensuring (via a 'depends on' or
another 'select') that Busybox is enabled.
However, the name of this option does not express the fact that it is
safe to select it without checking Busybox, which can lead to a bit of
time-consuming head-scratching.
To avoid future puzzlement from an unsuspecting observer, add a a big
fat comment that this option can be selected without any dependency on
Busybox.

In addition, if a user is using glibc 2.22, the default CFLAG
D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 will cause a compile error. This flag is now
removed from the CFLAGS in the make file to ensure that toolchains
compiled against glibc 2.22 will build the new version of the package
properly.
In addition, libselinux now uses fts(), which is not available on musl,
and not provided by our default uClibc configuration. Therefore,
libselinux now depends on glibc, as well as all its reverse
dependencies.

libselinux causes some build problems due to the toolchain on ARC,
which haven't been solved so far. As a temporary solution for Buildroot
2015.08, this commit makes libselinux (and its reverse dependencies)
unavailable on ARC. Of course, once the toolchain problem is
addressed, this commit can be reverted to re-enable libselinux on ARC.

This commit removes the version selection for the busybox
package. Busybox is very well maintained, and bugs are typically fixed
in a timely fashion. Moreover, regressions are fairly unlikely in this
very stable and well-tested tool.
Therefore, there isn't a very compelling reason to have a version
selection for Busybox since we don't accept such a version selection
for the vast majority of other packages, unless there is a strong
reason to do so.
Consequently, this commit:
* Removes the 1.19.4, 1.20.2 and 1.21.1 Busybox versions, patches and
default configuration file.
* Moves the 1.22.1 patches from package/busybox/1.22.1 to just
package/busybox/ like all other packages.
* Renames the default 1.22.1 configuration file to just
busybox.config.
* Adapts the busybox.mk makefile to encode the current version to
use.
* Adds appropriate options to Config.in.legacy. However, even though
the BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_22_X is removed, we don't add a
Config.in.legacy option for it, since it would cause a legacy
warning for virtually *all* users as most people are currently
using 1.22.x.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

The BusyBox watchdog application supports reset periods specified in
milliseconds. The Buildroot package will only allow an integer reset period,
which prevents the use of the required "ms" suffix. Change the watchdog period
configuration item to a string, to allow the use of the "ms" suffix.

As discussed on IRC, this only needs to be disabled for very specific
configurations, and it can nowadays be done with a custom busybox
.config (CONFIG_INSTALL_APPLET_DONT), so get rid of the option.

Explicitly explain what the (default) install target does, so people who
don't know busybox details understands what the option does.
Notice: Busybox can be configured to create hard links or shell wrappers
instead, but by default symlinks are used.

Since BR2_RECENT was enabled by default, we do not want entries marked
BR2_RECENT (and thus appearing by default in Buildroot) to disappear.
Therefore, all the entries marked BR2_RECENT are converted as
non-deprecated. We can later decide, on a per-entry basis, to add
BR2_DEPRECATED to some of them. But at least, this commit doesn't
change the default current behaviour of Buildroot.
