9bde598ced infra/utils: add helper to generate comma-separated lists
Add a helper macro that, from a space-separated list of items, returns a
comma-separated list of the quoted items.

This will be useful when we need to generate lists in JSON, later...

Code suggested by Thomas P.

339e1c9500 core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfig
Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.

However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:

  - the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
    build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
    "better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");

  - similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.

But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.

Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.

Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

242e0087e5 core: move pkg-utils.mk to support/
pkg-utils.mk contains various definitions that are used in the package
infrastructures and packages themselves.

However, those definitions can be useful in other parts of Buildroot,
and are already used in a few places that are not related to the package
infrastructure. Also, $(sep) will be needed early in the Makefile when
we eventually support multiple br2-external trees.

Since this file only contains definitions, we can include it anytime.

So, consider that file to no longer be specific to the package infras:
  - move it to support and rename it,
  - move a few similar definitions from the main Makefile to that file.
