Sometimes, buildroot needs a certain host tool to do its job, e.g. tar. In
many cases, we expect this tool to be present on the host system, but this is
not always the case. Or maybe, the version on the host system is not
suitable, and we need a more recent one.
In some of these cases, instead of bailing out, buildroot could build the
package first (but only if the existing system package is not suitable).
To aid in detecting if a host package is suitable or not, this patch adds a
function suitable-host-package. When called with parameter foo, it will
execute check-host-foo.sh. This script should return either the path to the
suitable host package, or the empty string if no suitable package can be found.
The rules to determine whether something is suitable or not is left to
check-host-foo.sh and depends on foo.
An example usage of suitable-host-package is:
DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ += $(if $(call suitable-host-package,foo),,host-foo)
To avoid cluttering the existing dependencies.mk file, it includes any
check-host-foo.mk file. These files can be used to hold appropriate
dependency-related actions for foo.

As suggested by Arnout Vandecappelle, move toolchain/dependencies to
support/dependencies, as it really is not toolchain-specific anymore.

The "Patch count" cell needs rowspan=2, otherwise the host/target cells are

The variable convert_to_autotools is not used in the script. The correct
variables are convert_to_target_autotools and convert_to_host_autotools.

The package count, cnt, should start with an initial value of 0. It
is incremented as each package *.mk file is checked. Starting with a
value of 1 makes the first ID = 2 and results in the TOTAL being off
by 1.

Update the grep tests used to determine the package type.
The package name and directory are now worked out magically due to:
package: add helper functions to get package name and directory magically
Because of this the extra arguments were removed by patches:
package: remove useless arguments from GENTARGETS
package: remove useless arguments from AUTOTARGETS
package: remove useless arguments from CMAKETARGETS

The CONFIG_UPDATE macro is no longer defined in
package/gnuconfig/gnuconfig.mk, but instead in
package/Makefile.autotools.in. It it also changed a little bit to take
the directory of the package sources as argument, and the AUTOTARGETS
infrastructure is updated to use this macro.
[Peter: drop echo in CONFIG_UPDATE]

The name "patch-kernel.sh" is a bit stupid, since this script is used
to patch everything in Buildroot, not only kernel trees.
