The makedevs package is a fork of the makedevs tool from busybox. It is
part of the Buildroot infrastructure, not something that should be used
on the target. It something like this is needed on the target, upstream
busybox should be used. And if one of the Buildroot-specific features
is needed, then that feature should be upstreamed to busybox.
Besides, there were already two things wrong with the target package:
- it didn't take into account the overlap with busybox (no depends on
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS, no dependency on busybox);
- it didn't take into account the libcap feature.
The target package was introduced more or less accidentally in 81cd9d45
where the intention was to make it more similar to other packages.
So, kill it with fire.

Now that the package infrastructure doesn't attempt to download a package
that has an empty version string, there's no need to define the VERSION and
SOURCE variables in the makedevs package.

Add the support of capability to makedevs as extended attribute.
Now, it's possible to add a line "|xattr <capability>" after a
file description to also add a capability to this file. It's
possible to add severals capabilities with severals lines.
[Peter: extend doc, reword Config.in, extend error message,
use HOST_MAKEDEVS_CFLAGS/LDFLAGS for all flags]

[Thomas: change license to be GPLv2. The header of makedevs.c is a bit
unclear, as it mentions both the GPL and LGPL. But since the code
seems to originally be coming from Busybox, assuming GPLv2 is the
safest option.]

The sources of the makedevs package are shipped with Buildroot, rather than
downloaded from an external location. As a result, no explicit version is
defined, causing build messages and build directory to show 'undefined' as
version.
This patch sets the version for makedevs to 'buildroot-$(BR2_VERSION), which
would for example expand to 'buildroot-2014.05'.

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.
