This commit adds a new option BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_PYTHON to enable Python
support in the target gdb. Since we can assume that the user will be
aware that Python is needed to get Python support in gdb, we chose to
use a "depends on" dependency instead of a "select" dependency.
The other weird thing is the need for a wrapper shell script to
replace gdb's provided python-config.py script. See the shell script
comment itself for all the details.

There is no need to name the option "GDB TUI support", since this
option is already visible "below" GDB in menuconfig/xconfig. Naming it
"TUI support" is therefore sufficient.

Add a configuration option to compile the gdb target package with the
--enable-tui switch.
This is done pretty much in the same way as in commit 2474fb0bf1 ("host-gdb:
enable terminal user interface support"), but for the gdb package on target.
This makes sense only when a full debugger is installed on target,
not for a gdbserver.

prompt of the option, and rewrap the help text.]

Commit 2474fb0bf1 ("host-gdb: enable
terminal user interface support") has added TUI support to host gdb,
and therefore added a dependency on host-ncurses when TUI support is
enabled.
However, host-ncurses is not only needed for TUI support, it is needed
for gdb in all cases as well, so this commit adds a dependency of
host-gdb to host-ncurses.

If Binutils and/or GDB are fetched from the unified binutils-gdb
repository, then the tarball will contain both Binutils and GDB
sources, unlike the "normal" tarballs that contain only the titular
package. To keep packages separated in Buildroot we need to disable
undesired components when configuring.
Binutils and GDB migrated to a common Git repository in the October
2013 [1]. Previous Git repositories were incomplete copies of CVS
repository which copied only the relevant files (no binutils files in
GDB, and vice versa). In the new binutils-gdb repository there is no
such separation and a result all files exist in directory after
checkout. So if "configure" and "make" are used without explicit
targets, all projects will be built: binutils, ld, gas, bfd, opcodes,
gdb, etc. In case of Buildroot this would mean that selecting Binutils
only, still will build both Binutils and GDB. And if GDB is selected
as well, then both packages will be built two times, and Binutils from
GDB directory will overwrite initial build of Binutils (or vice versa
if Binutils will be built after the GDB). This is a serious problem,
because binutils and GDB use separate branches in this common
repository. In case of Buildroot this means that separate Git commits
(or tags) should be used when downloading source from Git.
This affects only Git repositories, because GNU release tarballs still
contain only relevant packages.
This change is backward compatible, because if "normal" tarball is
used (without extra directories), than --disable-* configure options
are just ignored by configure.

For some reason, we were keeping gdb version 6.6a specially for
Blackfin. However, it turns out that support for Blackfin was merged
in gdb 7.4 (cross-gdb and gdbserver, not native gdb on the
target). Therefore, we can simply remove the support for version 6.6a
and use 7.5 as the default.
Both 7.4 and 7.5 were built tested, including cross-gdb and gdbserver.
The original reason to switch to 7.x is that 6.6a doesn't build for
Blackfin FLAT, and while it builds for Blackfin FDPIC, it only builds
libiberty.a and does not actually build a cross debugger.

This commit slightly improves the external toolchain backend, and the
gdb build logic to create a file named
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/buildroot/gdbinit which can be used as a
gdbinit file using gdb -x option. This allows gdb to automatically use
the proper sysroot to find libraries.
The initial insight for this patch comes from the report of Oded
Hanson <OHanson@xsightsys.com>, who found an issue with the Eclipse
Buildroot plugin, which was setting a solib-path in gdb, but not a
sysroot. Setting a solib-path was enough to find shared libraries, but
not the dynamic linker. And since Eclipse doesn't allow to set the
sysroot in any other way than giving a gdbinit file, it makes sense to
have Buildroot generate a gdbinit file (which can be used in other
situations than Eclipse).
To achieve this, this commit introduces a gen_gdbinit_file helper in
toolchain/helpers.mk, and uses it for the internal toolchain and
external toolchain backends.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

When a package A depends on config option B and toolchain option C, then
the comment that is given when C is not fulfilled should also depend on B.
For example:
config BR2_PACKAGE_A
depends on BR2_B
depends on BR2_LARGEFILE
depends on BR2_WCHAR
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
This comment should actually be:
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on BR2_B
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
or if possible (typically when B is a package config option declared in that
same Config.in file):
if BR2_B
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
[other config options depending on B]
endif
Otherwise, the comment would be visible even though the other dependencies
are not met.
This patch adds such missing dependencies, and changes existing such
dependencies from
depends on BR2_BASE_DEP && !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
to
depends on BR2_BASE_DEP
depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
so that (positive) base dependencies are separate from the (negative)
toolchain dependencies. This strategy makes it easier to write such comments
(because one can simply copy the base dependency from the actual package
config option), but also avoids complex and long boolean expressions.

Until now, the gdb site for AVR32 was adjusted only when GDB_VERSION
was not set, i.e only when the cross-gdb is *not* built. We should in
fact also set the site when the cross-gdb is built, so when
GDB_VERSION is defined through package/gdb/Config.in.host.
So, instead, we now have something like:
ifeq ($(GDB_VERSION),)
# we define here a default version that is used when the cross-gdb is
# not built and only the target gdb is selected.
endif
ifeq ($(GDB_VERSION),something-special)

When an external toolchain is used, and the user has chosen to copy
the external toolchain gdbserver to the target, then we should allow
the user to build a gdbserver and/or a cross-gdb: the ones of the

The reasoning is that one must use a gdbserver and cross-gdb of
identical versions to be sure that debugging will work properly.

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).
