The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

As stated on http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/: "The Linux pcmcia-cs
package is officially deprecated. It can only be used with 2.4 and
older kernels.".

The buildroot/busybox/uClibc VM is running low on disk space, and we've
been asked to move the source mirrors off-site.
A redirect has been setup between the old buildroot.net/downloads/sources/
and sources.buildroot.net, so old .configs continue to work, but we might
as well use the official one now.

We only bother updating the defconfigs that need a non-default
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE value.

Use the new default STAGING_DIR location (output/staging) in all the
defconfigs for clarity.

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.

As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more
sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find
for users.
Furthermore, update documentation to match.
