Instead of letting the user define all the details of his external
toolchain, we define a set of profiles for well-known external
toolchains (CodeSourcery ones only at the moment, can easily be
extended with other toolchains).
Once a profile has been choosen, the user is offered the choice of
either letting Buildroot download and install the external toolchain,
or (as before) to tell Buildroot where the toolchain is installed on
the system.
We of course provide a "custom profile", through which the user can
configure Buildroot to use a custom external toolchain for which no
profile is available.

When sstrip is selected it tries to strip kernel modules too.
Unfortunately this fails with a "unrecognized program segment header

We introduce a new $(KSTRIPCMD) strip command for this, being a regular

Ensure host packages (dependencies of target packages) are also handled
by make source / make external-deps.
This has to be done a explicitly, as we don't list these in Kconfig,
and hence also not in a variable like TARGETS, so instead we have to
look at the <PKG>_DEPENDENCIES variables for each enabled package and
extract the host packages from there.
Host packages can in turn also have dependencies, so we have to follow
those as well. Ideally this should be done recursively, but as that's
pretty hard to do in make, it is limited to 1 level for now.
Finally, host packages share source files with target packages, so
pipe output of make external-deps through sort -u to ensure duplicates
are removed.

The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

If building out-of-tree, add a Makefile wrapper that calls-out to the real
Makefile with proper args.
Avoids having to pass -C and O= every time we call make.
This is highly inspired from how the Linux kernel does it, and portions of
it have been used. We can't use exactly the same implementation as the
kernel does, because:
- the script writing the wrapper has been expunged of the few lines
that were too kernel-related: in buildroot we do not need the version
string in the wrapper, and we do not have a patchlevel version;
- "in-tree build" does not have the same meaning for the kernel and for
buildroot: for the kernel, $(O) point to the $(TOPDIR), while for
buildroot $(O) points to $(TOPDIR)/output.

The previous commit has removed calls to conf_write_autoconf(), which
is the function that generates the KCONFIG_AUTOCONF,
KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER, KCONFIG_TRISTATE files and the split config (with
one file per config item). Therefore, those things were not generated
anymore before the build.
In order to get them generated before the build, we use the same
mechanism as the kernel: run a silentoldconfig when the .config file
is newer than the KCONFIG_AUTOCONF file.
In Buildroot, all those elements are not really used today, except the
split config which is used a little bit in the toolchain build, in a
try to make sure the toolchain gets rebuilt properly when the
configuration changes. It does not seem that this work has been
completed.
However, as we want to keep the same behaviour as previously, we have
to generate all those elements before starting the build.

Our kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch hasn't been kept up to date with all
the changes made into package/config, and a single patch wasn't very
practical to maintain all our changes. Therefore, this commit adds a
package/config/patches directory, which contains a Quilt series of
patches that correspond to our modifications to the kconfig mechanism.
The huge kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch has been split into 16 smaller
patches. The purpose of some of the modifications has been clearly
identified, while some others were not identified.
The 16 patches together do match exactly the old
kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch. We have been very careful in making sure
that we wouldn't loose any of our modifications.
The only modifications made are :
* Instead of renaming the kernel Makefile to Makefile.kconfig and
naming the Buildroot Makefile just 'Makefile', we instead keep the
original package/config/Makefile from the kernel
scripts/kconfig/Makefile and name the Buildroot Makefile
package/config/Makefile.br. The main Buildroot Makefile is modified
accordingly.
* The documentation README.buildroot2 is updated to explain how to
upgrade to a newer version of scripts/kconfig.
* The kconfig-language.txt documentation is removed, as anybody can
easily find it in the kernel sources so there's no need to
duplicate it here.
