The package/busybox/busybox-minimal.config is the default configuration
for MMU-less systems, so the setting is redundant and can be removed
without effect.

The generic extension set 'G' is realy a base with the minimal set of
extensions needed to be comfortable (but not required) to run a
linux-bassed system. Similarly, we consider the custom to be about the
custom set of features (not about a custom core implementing such a
set).
As such, we allow that a core with the G set can have futher extensions
without requiring it to be configured as a custom set.
We drop the intermediate symbols with the prompts, and move the prompts
to the previously hidden symbols, and add a prompt for the I set.
This alows one to clearly see what the generic set is about, without
having to delve into the help and hunt the list of selected symbol.
Note however that the G set implies Zicsr and Zifencei, but we have no
prompt for thos two, because in Buildroot, we assume that they are
mandatory and always present, like the I set (which they previously were
part of).

The defconfigs use a 5.19 kernel, so specify 5.19 kernel headers now that is

Bump the kernel version for all riscv nommu configs from 5.18 to 5.19.
That way, we can remove the one and only riscv nommu patch,
since this patch is included in kernel 5.19.

The MMU option is currently located in the "Toolchain" menu, but it
doesn't make sense as it's really architecture related. In addition,
the selection of MMU has an impact on the choice of binary format
available, which is visible in the architecture menu.
Therefore, this commit moves the MMU option into the architecture
menu.
However, if we simply move it in arch/Config.in, it means that we
would have the following order of options:
Target architecture
Target architecture variant
ABI
MMU
Binary format
But really, the MMU option should be right below the Target
architecture variant, and the available ABIs derived from that.
The variant and ABI are arch-specfic, and defined in the per-arch
Config.in fragments; a Kconfig option can have only one prompt defined,
even under conditions, and appears at the place in the menu where its
prompt was defined. So, there is no (easy) possibility to have a
generic option appear where we want it.
Since in fact only 2 architectures show a visible prompt for the MMU
option (RISC-V and Xtensa), we move this option in
arch/Config.in.riscv and arch/Config.in.xtensa.
Some walkthrough the commit:
- BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY and BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL are
removed as they are no longer needed
- BR2_USE_MMU becomes a hidden boolean
- All the places where we used to select BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY
now select BR2_USE_MMU directly.
- Introduce BR2_RISCV_USE_MMU and BR2_XTENSA_USE_MMU.
- All defconfigs that used "# BR2_USE_MMU is not set" are switched to
using the new option.
All in all, this simplifies things quite a bit, and allows to have a
good option ordering in the Target architecture menu.
This commit might raise a concern in terms of backward compatibility
with existing configurations. The only configurations that will be
broken by this change are RISC-V noMMU (which was very recently
introduced) and Xtensa noMMU (which we can probably agree is not such
a widely popular configuration).

Add two buildroot configuration files to build a minimal Linux
environment for the Sipeed MAIXDUINO board. The configurations are:
* sipeed_maixduino_defconfig: Build a bootable kernel image with an
embedded initramfs root file system. The image built can be flashed to
the board as is and does not require a boot loader. This configuration
uses the tiny busybox configuration defined in
board/canaan/k210-soc/busybox-tiny.config.
* sipeed_maixduino_sdcard_defconfig: Build a kernel image with a root
file system on the SD card and using U-Boot as the boot loader. This
uses the default busybox minimal configuration.
Both configurations also enable the kflash and pyserial-miniterm host
tools for flashing image files to the board and opening a terminal
console.
The readme.txt file documents how to build and boot the Sipeed MAIXDUINO
board with these configurations.
