The host variant of syslinux wasn't exposed anywhere, so the only way
to use it was to know that a "host-syslinux" target existed. Moreover,
thanks to commit 8e0d411898 ('syslinux:
install helper programs to the host'), the host utilities of syslinux
are automatically installed to $(HOST_DIR) when building the target
syslinux.

Even though syslinux is built for the target, it does create helper
programs intended to be run on the host such as syslinux and extlinux.
This change installs these helper programs to the host so that they may be
called by post image creation scripts.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

This makes it possible to build the syslinux/extlinux installer, so a
bootable USB drive, CompactFlash or SD card can be created by a user
script.

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.

Moreover, the installation of pxelinux and/or isolinux is now handled
as suboptions, like we traditionally do for other packages. This allows
to have a single option (BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX) that enables the
syslinux package.
