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.

Fixes#6986
Prior to u-boot 2013.10, the GPL license text was stored in COPYING and not
Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt, breaking legal-info.
Work around it by simply copying the file from the old location to the new
if present.

Some boards are configured in u-boot to store multiple redundant copies of
the environment image in flash. For these boards, it is required to pass
the -r flag, when generating a boot environment image using mkenvimage.

On some platforms, the standard U-Boot binary is not called u-boot.bin,
but u-boot<something>.bin. This is for example the case on the
Cavium-provided u-boot, where the output file is called
u-boot_<boardname>.bin.
This patch adds a 'custom format' choice in the existing u-boot binary
format selection, where this name can be put. In the Cavium example, this
option could be set to:
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_CUSTOM_NAME="u-boot-$(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME).bin"

To match the logic we have for BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH. The user has
already specified a custom patch directory, so we don't need to be
so specific about the what file names we accept, and it becomes quite
cumbersome when a custom git version is used.

This commit provides configuration options to automatically generate a
binary environment image for U-Boot.
Two options are available (and mandatory):
* the location of a text file describing U-Boot environment.
* the size of the environment.

Closes#5846
The $(dir ...) function leaves a slash at the end, so that the LINUX_SITE
variable for a custom tarball ends in a slash. The DOWNLOAD macro adds
another slash between SITE and SOURCE, which results in a double slash in
the download URL.
Fix this by stripping off the final slash from the _SITE in all packages that
have a custom tarball.

For some platforms like OMAP, a new binary format is now being used
for u-boot: u-boot.img. It is basically u-boot.bin which has been
processed with mkimage.

SPL is a first stage bootloader. On pandaboard it supercedes x-loader,
and should now be used.
This patch ensures that either SPL or xloader can be selected.
A config variable has been added for the name of the SPL binary generated
during u-boot build. For most platform it is u-boot-spl.bin but not always.
It is MLO on OMAP for example.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
GENTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

As the kernel and bootloaders do not use the normal BR2_PACKAGE_*
Kconfig options, their target name was not automatically added to the
global TARGETS variable. Each bootloader .mk and the linux.mk had to
add their own target manually to TARGETS, and the package
infrastructure was making tests on non-existing Kconfig variables.
This commit improves the package infrastructure so that it looks at
BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for packages, BR2_TARGET_<pkg> for bootloaders and
at the special BR2_LINUX_KERNEL for the linux package.
This allows to simplify a little bit the bootloaders and linux .mk
files.
