These instructions should probaby go in the Buildroot manual, but at
this point, it's not clear in which section they should go. So in
order to not loose those notes, add them to the Grub help text.

Grub can be configured to enable or disable the filesystems supported
in the stage 2. In addition, there are filesystem specific stage
1.5. In order to save space and build time, we provide a new option
that allows to give a space-separated list of filesystems that Grub
should support.
We default to support FAT and ext2, since most of the other
filesystems are fairly unlikely to be used.
We use this option to:
1) Pass --enable-<fs> or --disable-<fs>, which enables/disables the
support of <fs> in Grub stage 2.
2) Install only the stage 1.5 that correspond to the selected
filesystems.

Two improvements to the menu.lst file:
* Do not enforce any video mode, let the kernel use whatever it wants
as the default, or let the user customize it when needed.
* Use /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/hda1. Nowadays, most hard disk
controllers are handled using libata, and therefore the disks are
visible as /dev/sd<X>.

This commit brings a number of improvements to the grub packaging:
* It builds grub with the host compiler, which is needed so that we
can build a 32 bits grub even if the target architecture is
x86-64. To make sure we have a host compiler capable of generating
32 bits code, grub now selects the BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER
option. Building with the host compiler is done by cheating and
passing $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) in GRUB_CONF_ENV.
* Some additional CFLAGS are added to make sure grub builds properly
with modern compilers (-O0, --build-id=none, -fno-stack-protector).
* Removal of the GRUB_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS which were not used, since
GRUB_INSTALL_STAGING was not set to YES.
* Installation of the "grub" binary in $(HOST_DIR) instead of
$(TARGET_DIR) since it's actually used only on the host to install
grub into an image or device.
* Removal of the grub uninstall commands, since they are generally
considered useless.

Some Config.in(.host) files have constructs like:
config FOO_VERSION
string
default "1.0" if FOO_1_0
default "2.0" if FOO_2_0
default $FOO_CUSTOM_VERSION if FOO_CUSTOM
The dollar sign here is not needed and confusing, so can be removed.

On some platforms, the standard U-Boot binary is not called u-boot.bin,
but u-boot<something>.bin. This is for example the case on the
Cavium-provided u-boot, where the output file is called
u-boot_<boardname>.bin.
This patch adds a 'custom format' choice in the existing u-boot binary
format selection, where this name can be put. In the Cavium example, this
option could be set to:
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_CUSTOM_NAME="u-boot-$(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME).bin"

To match the logic we have for BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH. The user has
already specified a custom patch directory, so we don't need to be
so specific about the what file names we accept, and it becomes quite
cumbersome when a custom git version is used.

Closes#5846
The $(dir ...) function leaves a slash at the end, so that the LINUX_SITE
variable for a custom tarball ends in a slash. The DOWNLOAD macro adds
another slash between SITE and SOURCE, which results in a double slash in
the download URL.
Fix this by stripping off the final slash from the _SITE in all packages that
have a custom tarball.
