After having extended the iso9660 support to allow isolinux as an
alternative to grub, this commit adds grub2 as a third
alternative. With the previous work done to support isolinux, adding
support for grub2 is fairly trivial.

This commit adds a new option, which allows, when isolinux is used as
the bootloader, to generate an "hybrid" ISO image. Such images can
either be booted from CD-ROM or from USB keys. It simply uses the
isohybrid tool provided by syslinux.

After all the preparation commits, this commit finally adds the
iso9660 support itself. Besides adding a new Config.in entry, a little
bit of .mk code and the isolinux.cfg default configuration, not much
is needed.

In preparation to the introduction of the support for other
bootloaders than Grub, this commit switches from having the iso9660
support "select" the necessary bootloader to using a "depends on".
The main motivation is that the isolinux bootloader support will
really need to do a "depends on", due to the need of having a certain
option enabled, but this option being a kconfig "choice".

In preparation to the introduction for the support of other
bootloaders than Grub, this commit adds a "choice ... endchoice" block
with just the Grub option, and adds some conditionals in the
iso9660.mk code for the Grub specific parts.
Of course, for now those conditionals are a bit useless with just this
commit, but they become useful with the followup commits.

Until now, the iso9660 filesystem handling only supported using an
initrd/initramfs to store the root filesystem, which is very different
from what we do with the other filesystems.
This commit changes the iso9660 logic to also allow using directly an
iso9660 filesystem to store the root filesystem. A new option,
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD, is created to tell the iso9660 that
we want to use an initrd and not directly the root filesystem in
iso9660 format. This option defaults to 'y' to preserve the existing
behavior.
After this commit, we therefore have three possibilities:
* BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660=y, with BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS and
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD disabled. In this case, the
iso9660 filesystem is directly the contents of the root filesystem
(since is possible thanks to the Rockridge extensions that were
already enabled using the -R option of genisoimage). Obviously, it
means that the root filesystem is read-only.
* BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660=y and BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y (the
value of BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD doesn't matter). In this
case, the root filesystem is already linked into the kernel image
itself, as an initramfs. So the iso9660 filesystem doesn't contain
the root filesystem as is, but just the bootloader and the kernel
image.
* BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660=y, BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD=y and
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS disabled. In this case, a separate
initrd is used. The iso9660 filesystem only contains the
bootloader, the kernel and the initrd.
In order to support the first case out of the box, root=/dev/sr0 is
added on the kernel command line in the example Grub configuration
file, so that the kernel knows where the root filesystem is
located. This argument is ignored when initrd/initramfs are used.

The iso9660.mk modifies the menu.lst file from Grub to set the correct
initrd/kernel image locations. However, with the upcoming support of
other bootloaders for iso9660 filesystems, we need to modify a bit
this logic.
Instead of relying on the specific details of the grub menu.lst
syntax, we introduce the __KERNEL_PATH__ and __INITRD_PATH__ magic
keywords, which iso9660.mk will replace by the appropriate
values. They can therefore be used where needed in grub menu.lst, and
in similar configuration files of other bootloaders, as will be
supported in the following commits.
Also, in order to be consistent with the soon to be introduced support
for having the root filesystem itself as iso9660, this commit changes
the installation location of the initrd and kernel. Instead of being
/initrd and /kernel, they become /boot/initrd and
/boot/$(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME).

This patch lines up the comments of packages that need a Linux kernel to be

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.

The ext2 initrd is pretty broken, because it requires an additional
root=/dev/ram0 command line parameter, and a /init to mount
devtmps that isn't there in out ext2 rootfs. So just use a cpio
instead.
Note that there is no check if the kernel supports initramfs or the
selected compression method.
Also removed a bit of dead code in iso9660.mk.
