The existing comments in Config.in.legacy are not entirely in-line with
current practice. The comments implies that BR2_LEGACY should not be set when
the conversion from old-to-new symbol can be done automatically using the
appropriate 'select' statements. However, none of the existing legacy options
does it this way. Moreover, I think it's intentional that the user is notified
of the change, so that the removal of the legacy options in later buildroot
versions no longer poses a problem.
Additionally, the comments now describe how to handle string options.

As Arnout noted, we removed the BR2_ARM_OABI option without adding the
corresponding option in Config.in.legacy, so users upgrading to
Buildroot 2013.08 with an OABI configuration would get migrated
automatically to EABI without any warning.
This commit introduces such a legacy option, so that such users would
be explicitly warned about the removal of OABI support.

The old BR2_PACKAGE_PTHREAD_STUBS option (kept for legacy support) now
selects the BR2_PACKAGE_XLIB_LIBPTHREAD_STUBS option, but this creates
a consistency warning from kconfig, because the new option has
BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 as a dependency.
Since the old option also had BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 has a dependency, we
make the legacy config option depend on BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 to avoid
this warning.

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).

* Add Faraday FA526/626 as suggested on bug #1291
Note however that these cores are v4 and NOT v4t.
* Make the sa110 & sa1110 cores -> strongarm since they're the same.
* Drop all of the ARM variants lower than v4 including generic, there's
no point in supporting obsolete targets.
* Fix uClibc USE_BX logic, it was always on, this would break the new
FA526/626 support and broke StrongARM since it's a v4 core.

The BR2_PACKAGE_XSERVER_xorg and BR2_PACKAGE_XSERVER_tinyx options
used to select the style of X.org server to use are not named
consistently with the rest of the Buildroot options (in capital
letters and prefixed with the package name).
Therefore, we rename those options, and we take care to add the old
option names in the BR2_LEGACY infrastructure.

In upstream X.org releases, pthread-stubs is named libpthread-stubs,
so for consistency reasons, we rename the Buildroot package
accordingly. Also, while we're at it, we add a xlib_ prefix to the
package to match other X.org libraries in Buildroot.
The necessary Config.in.legacy code is added to ensure that users
having .config files using the old configuration option name get a
warning.

when the LEGACY_CHECK menu is disabled in menuconfig (or even oldconfig),
it will also unselect BR2_PACKAGE_EVTEST again. Still, it can serve as a

As discussed in the BR developer days, we want to be more strict about API
changes in buildroot. I.e., we want to make it less likely that a user's
customizations break down after upgrading buildroot.
A first step is to make sure that the user is warned about API changes.
This patch introduces Makefile.legacy and Config.in.legacy, which will
issue clear error messages for such situations.
