Commit e7d04dd2d replaced /etc/dropbear with a symlink to /var/run and
updated the start scripts to replace it with a real directory, so the
keys would be persistent. However, it turns out that this is pretty
confusing even for expert users, who don't know how to make the keys
really persistent now.
Update the help text explaining what the issue is, and telling the user
to replace the /etc/dropbear symlink with a symlink to a persistent
directory. Also mention the possiblity of unionfs.

When the rootfs is read-only, keys will be generated in a volatile
location, which is inherently bad as host keys will change on each boot,
rendering them virtually useless.
Add a warning so the user is at least aware of the issue.
Hide the rm output to avoid noisy output, now that we have a proper warning.
Move the starting message after the symlink-block, to avoid messages
collision. Move the umask as well, since /etc/dropbear/ may be world
readable; just the private host keys should be ?00 (and dropbear handles
that by itself).

dropbear generates its keys at the first connection, and wants to save
them in /etc/dropbear (not configurable).
Currently, our /etc/dropbear is a directory.
When the filesystem is read-only, dropbear can't save its keys, so
refuses all connections.
Fix that with:
- at build time, create /etc/dropbear as a symlink to
/var/run/dropbear
- at runtime, if the filesystem is RW (we can rm /etc/dropbear),
we replace the symlink with an actual directory; otherwise,
when the filesystem is RO (we can't rm /etc/dropbear), we create
/var/run/dropbear so the symlink points to an existing directory

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.

Fixes a number of issues. From the changelog:
- Avoid getting stuck in a loop writing huge key files, reported by Bruno
Thomsen
- Avoid crash on exit due to cleaned up keys before last packets are sent,
debugged by Ronald Wahl
- Fix a race condition in rekeying where Dropbear would exit if it received a
still-in-flight packet after initiating rekeying. Reported by Oliver Metz.
This is a longstanding bug but is triggered more easily since 2013.57
- Ensure that generated RSA keys are always exactly the length
requested. Previously Dropbear always generated N+16 or N+15 bit keys.
Thanks to Unit 193
- Fix DROPBEAR_CLI_IMMEDIATE_AUTH mode which saves a network round trip if the
first public key succeeds. Still not enabled by default, needs more
compatibility testing with other implementations.
- Fix signal handlers so that errno is saved, thanks to Erik Ahlén for a patch
and Mark Wickham for independently spotting the same problem.
And at the same time get rid of the TIMEVAL_TO_TIMESPEC as dropbear provides a
fallback implementation if not available (and has done so since 2006).

The default port 22 used by dropbear for its SSH connections is not always
desired. Dropbear accepts an option '-p' to set the port, but doing this was
not possible from the buildroot-provided init script.
One way to fix this is by adding a custom S50dropbear in a project-specific
rootfs overlay. However, this approach has the big disadvantage that bug
fixes or improvements in the default init script (i.e. in newer buildroot
releases) are not available (unless you manually port these changes each
time you upgrade buildroot).
Another solution is to modify the default init script from a
project-specific post-build script. However, this is fragile because you'd
have to sed some line but this line may change in later buildroot releases.
Yet another solution is to change the default port at build time, by
patching the options.h header file in the dropbear sources. This was
proposed with a patch [1] before, but not accepted.
This patch implements another solution, hinted from the discussion in [1]:
the default init script now sources a config file /etc/default/dropbear, in
which the user can set the variable DROPBEAR_ARGS. This is similar to the
S81named init script in the bind package. The config file would be added to
a project-specific rootfs overlay, a custom skeleton, or created from a
post-build script.
This approach has the advantage of being simple and non-intrusive, without
any code duplication or fragile script modifications.
