toolchain-common.in is a Config.in file with an uncommon name.
It is just included by toolchain/Config.in, and toolchain/Config.in is
not that long, so instead of renaming the file, merge it to
toolchain/Config.in.
Move the raw contents from the file to the exact location it is
currently included in order to not change the order in the menu.
Update the references in the manual as well.

Extract dependencies are dependencies that must be ready before the
extract step of a package, i.e for tools that are needed to extract
packages themselves. Current examples of such tools are host-tar,
host-lzip and host-xz.
They are currently handled through DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ. However,
this mechanism has a number of drawbacks:
- First and foremost, because host-tar/host-lzip/host-xz are not
listed in the dependencies of packages, the package infrastructure
does not know it should rsync them in the context of per-package
SDK.
- Second, there is no dependency handling *between* them. I.e, we
have no mechanism that says host-tar should be built before
host-lzip, while it is in fact the case: if you need to build
host-lzip, you need to extract a tarball, so you may need host-tar
if your system tarball is not capable enough.
For those reasons, it makes sense to add explicit support for "extract
dependencies" in the package infrastructure, through the
<pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES variable. It is unlikely this variable will
ever be used by a package .mk file, but it will be used internally by
the package infrastructure.

This reverts commit 1e5a8916b2.
The idea was that the version string can be derived because we know the
package name.
However, this patch does not account for the fact that $(pkgname) always
points to the latest pacakge scanned, which in all other situation we're
using it, is the current package, because it is used inside one ot he
xxx-inner macros that are $(eval)ualed. So $(pkgname) is evaluated
"early" and gets the expected value.
However, the github value is not in one of those macros, so it gets
evaluated "late", when doing the actual download. So, by that time,
$(pkgname) will expand to the last package scanned, which is actuall the
manual (without a br2-external tree).
That would require that the _SITE variable be assigned with the :=
assignment operator. This is weird, because that would make it the only
variable to require that, but only when using the github helper, which
is even less obvious and would cause a lot of trouble...
The obvious fixup would seem to be to use $(PKG) instead, because that
already contains the upper-case package name that vcan be used as a
prefix to variables.
However, that does not work either, because we have a check that forbids
a trsailing slash in _SITE, check that is done in pacakge/pkg-generic,
inside the xxx-inner macro, during the $(eval) call.
And at that time, PKG is not yet defined, because it is only defined for
an actual recipe.
So we can't seem to have a workable solution. So, just revert the patch.

Currently it is always required to add package version as an argument to
the github helper. Since the version is always defined as PKG_VERSION,
drop this argument and generate it automatically inside the helper
routine.
The github helper function is extended to support both 2 and 3 argument
variants (ie. either use the provided package version argument or
automatically substitute with PKG_VERSION if not available), which can
make the transition of the package files easier as well allows using the
3-argument variant outside of package definitions.

When we have multiple versions for a package, and the licensing terms
depend on the version actually selected (e.g. like Qt5), storing the
hashes for those license files in the .hash file is broken: the infra
will ensure that all hashes for a file do match, which would not be the
case here.
We fix that by first looking for a hash file in the version sub-dir
first, and if that does not exist, then we use the main hash file.
Drop the useless intermediate variable 'ret'.
Update the documentation accordingly.

Make inclusion ordering of all linux-tool-*.mk sub-makefiles explicit
instead of relying on alphabetical sort order. This is done by
renaming the Linux tools sub-makefiles to the format linux-tool-*.mk.in.
This causes the top-level Makefile to ignore the Linux tools
sub-makefiles.
Until now, the main Makefile included all linux-tool-*.mk files, as
well as linux-tools.mk, and it relied on alphabetical sorting to
include them in the proper order (linux-tool-*.mk before
linux-tools.mk).

This commit updates the manual about hashes, fixing a number of
issues:
- Adding the .hash file should no longer be optional: it *must* be
added. Therefore the wording "You can add ..." is changed to "When
possible, you must add ...".
- We are now checking hashes for Git downloaded packages, so fix this
as well, and indicate more clearly which download methods have hash
checking.
- We no longer want to have auto-generated patches be downloaded
through <pkg>_PATCH because such patches are not stable over time,
and their hash can change. For example, downloading patches from
github.com should no longer be done.

Currently, the output of printvars copntains the name of the variable,
its expanded value and its un-expanded value.
However, most of the time, we need the actual, expanded value, so it can
be re-used from a (non-Buildroot) infrastructure script, like a
post-build script, or a build-farm driver (e.g. a Jenkins job...)
Add two options that a user may set to change the output of printvars:
- QUOTED_VARS, if set, will quote the value
- RAW_VARS, if set, will print the unexpanded value
The new output by default only prints the expanded value now.
So that it can be used as such:
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION
BUSYBOX_VERSION=1.26.2
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES QUOTED_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES='ncurses util-linux'
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES RAW_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES=$(sort $(BUSYBOX_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES))
And it is even possible to directly evaluate it in a shell script:
eval $(make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION QUOTED_VARS=YES)
Backward compatibility of the output is not maintained. It is believed
that scripts that depended on the previous output were very fragile to
begin with, because they had to filter the non-formatted output
(splitting on spaces or braces was not really possible, because values
could contain either).
Document printvars and its options in the manual; list it in the output
of 'make help'.
