Kernel headers version 3.8.x has been deprecated since 2013.08 and thus can
be removed in 2014.08.
An automatic selection of 3.9.x headers is performed in the legacy menu.
Existing automatic selections of 3.8.x headers are modified to select
3.9.x.
As this patch removes the last occurrence of BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_2013_08,
the symbol is removed too.

In commit 971e331c54
('package/linux-headers: remove 2.6 snapshot'), we removed the support
for the Linux headers snapshot option, but we forgot to remove some
related help text in the main Config.in option of the Linux headers
package.

Select the appropriate BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_XXX options for the
internal toolchain backend.
For the manualy-specified version, we bring up the choice that sets the
_AT_LEAST_XXX symbols.
[Thomas: rename symbols from BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LINUX_HEADERS_<version>
to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LINUX_HEADERS_CUSTOM_<version> to clearly indicate
that they are used to specify the version of custom headers.]

As Thomas states:
It is completely weird to ask the tarball to be named exactly
linux-2.6.tar.bz2. IMO, we should simply get rid of this feature.
Make it so! ;-)

The Linux kernel headers versions 3.1, 3.3, and 3.5 have been deprecated
since 2013.02 and thus can be removed in 2014.02.
For legacy handling, we automatically select versions 3.2, 3.4, and 3.6,
respectively.
Additionally, this patch removes the now unused symbol
BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_2013_02.

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.

Some Config.in(.host) files have constructs like:
config FOO_VERSION
string
default "1.0" if FOO_1_0
default "2.0" if FOO_2_0
default $FOO_CUSTOM_VERSION if FOO_CUSTOM
The dollar sign here is not needed and confusing, so can be removed.
