This option enables/disables installation of the eudev hardware database,
which provides various extra properties for known devices.
Enabling this option adds ~5MB to the rootfs size.
The option is enabled by default in order to preserve old behavior.

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

The udev virtual package and its current providers (eudev and systemd)
have been updated to use the latest version of virtual package
infrastructure.
A provider should now select BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV and well as set a
value for BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_UDEV.

This patch converts udev to a virtual package. For the moment, there is only
one provider for the udev features: eudev.
Packages meant to provide udev-like features must select the symbol
BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV.
Packages depending on BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_UDEV or
BR2_PACKAGE_UDEV have been converted to use the new symbol.

eudev is a userspace device management daemon. It is a standalone
version, independent from systemd. It is a fork maintained by Gentoo.
Features:
- No extra configuration options are available: Gudev is build if
libglib2 is selected.
- No dependency on hwdata as the package uses its own hardware
database (as does systemd).
eudev 1.3 is in sync with systemd v207.
