7f1f9185e7 system: default to devtmpfs for /dev
As discussed on the list, devtmpfs is quite a bit nicer default than
the old static /dev, so change it.

Notice that you NEED to enable CONFIG_DEVTMPFS / CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
in the kernel configuration if you manually build a kernel outside
buildroot, otherwise the rootfs won't work.

ed6912e87d getty: Create specific getty config + cleanups
This commit introduces a specific BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY configuration flag.
This eliminates the need for checking if BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT is an
empty string or not. It also allows hiding various getty options when getty
isn't enabled.

b7c0041c31 kmod: does not support static builds
Since kmod 14, the support for building a static library has been
removed completely from kmod. Therefore, we mark kmod as
!BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB, as well as all its reverse dependencies, which
includes the option to use the "udev" /dev management method.

[Peter: show comment for udev when BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is enabled]

f1f97b3a05 system: add option to pass extra args to post-build and post-image scripts
It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build
and/or post-image scripts as they share a common infrastructure, but yet
have minor differentiation.

This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each
post-build or post-image script.

The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not
possible to pass different arguments to each script.

[Peter: fix help text, post-image gets called with the images dir]

c482eed74c Adjust prompt for the post-build scripts option
Since the post-image config option uses the plural for "Custom
scripts", do the same for the post-build config option, for
consistency.

9fa32ba0b7 Add a post-image script mechanism
Just like we have a post-build script mechanism that gets executed
after the build of all packages but before the creation of the
filesystem images, let's introduce a post-image script mechanism, that
gets executed once all filesystem images have been generated.

This can for example be used to call a tool building a firmware image
from different images generated by Buildroot, or automatically extract
the tarball root filesystem image into some location exported by NFS,
or any other custom action.

7f86089292 target/generic: add filesystem overlay option
The filesystem overlay is a tree that is copied over the target fs

72defc45dd target: add different methods to encode passwords
Passwords can be encoded in different ways (from the weakest
to the strongest): des, md5, sha-256, sha-512

Add a choice entry to select the method, defaulting to 'md5'.

b98b191b5c system: set root password only for default skeleton
In case one is using a custom skeleton, the root pasword might already be
set in this case, and should not be overriden.

Just ask for (and set) the root password only for the default skeleton.

a45871bfc6 target: add option to set the root password
Add an option in the menuconfig to specify a root password.

If set to empty, no root password is created; otherwise, the password is
encrypted using MD5 (MD5 is not the default for crypt(3), DES-56 is, but
MD5 is widely available, not-so-strong, but not-so-weak either).

Add a check for 'mkpasswd' as a new dependency.

3845a93b30 dbus: uses fork(), requires MMU
In order to solve
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/34f6843137efda20626af72714c110280ec577d7/build-end.log,
this patch makes the D-Bus package as well as all the packages that
select the D-Bus package 'depends on BR2_USE_MMU'.

In addition, for the specific case of gvfs, the missing
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS dependency is added (threads are required by
D-Bus, so they are also required by gvfs which selects D-Bus).

6c3e3ad419 New top-level directory: system
This directory groups the following elements:
 * the default root filesystem skeleton
 * the default device tables
 * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for
   getty, system hostname, etc.)
 * the make rules to apply the system configuration options

Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it
would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other
related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense.

As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which
has become useless in the process.
