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.

Closes#1003.
Several config options have gotten renamed in 1.16, making the 1.13.x
defconfig not enable the stuff we want.

Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic,
renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS.
Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config
do the right thing.
