As the kernel and bootloaders do not use the normal BR2_PACKAGE_*
Kconfig options, their target name was not automatically added to the
global TARGETS variable. Each bootloader .mk and the linux.mk had to
add their own target manually to TARGETS, and the package
infrastructure was making tests on non-existing Kconfig variables.
This commit improves the package infrastructure so that it looks at
BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for packages, BR2_TARGET_<pkg> for bootloaders and
at the special BR2_LINUX_KERNEL for the linux package.
This allows to simplify a little bit the bootloaders and linux .mk
files.

The mkimage for the host is now built by a package, so that
boot/u-boot/u-boot.mk is no longer responsible for doing this. It
makes things a lot easier to handle, as linux/linux.mk now simply
depends on host-uboot-mkimage.

The feature of building mkimage for the target is removed, it wasn't
building with current U-Boot, and doesn't make a lot of sense (mkimage
is needed only to prepare a kernel image, or an U-Boot script).
The feature of building mkimage for the host is moved to a proper
package. It duplicates a few things (U-Boot URL, etc.) but it makes
things a lot cleaner than having it handled by boot/u-boot/u-boot.mk.

Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.
At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.
I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.
Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,
anybody interested in Grub2 is invited to contribute a working
package.

This commit converts the at91dataflashboot bootloader build process to
GENTARGETS. It also does the following changes :
* As the package directory name is at91dataflashboot, the
configuration options and make variables are renamed to
AT91DATAFLASHBOOT instead of DATAFLASHBOOT.
* Since the board selection in Kconfig wasn't used anywhere, get rid
of it. at91dataflashboot is only for AT91RM9200 apparently anyway.

We use 'make tools' to build a mkimage for the host if needed by the
kernel (uImage) without having u-boot configured, but that only works
since the 2010.03 release:

The Buildroot makefile was fetching and building the special
AT91Bootstrap of Ulf, which is not the Atmel official version. While
Ulf's variant has a better configuration/build system, the Atmel
version, as officially supported, is probably a better choice for the
future.
The Atmel version only needed a small tweak to work with EABI

When U-Boot is enabled and no custom patch directory has been set,
then the current test:
ifneq ($(strip $(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR)),"")
works. However, when U-Boot is not enabled, but still gets compiled
because mkimage is needed to build the kernel,
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR is completely empty. It does not
even have quotes. So the test in fact needs to be:
ifneq ($(call qstrip,$(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR)),)

The bootloader being very specific to the hardware, being able to
build U-Boot from an arbitrary tarball available on the web might be
needed.
Therefore, for U-Boot, we provide two methods :
* Get a given stable version from U-Boot official FTP server
* Get an arbitrary tarball
This should hopefully satisfy most needs, without complicating too
much the U-Boot build procedure on Buildroot side.

To build mkimage for the host (which is needed to build an uImage of
the kernel), it is not necessary to configure U-Boot, and therefore to
have a particular board selected.
Therefore, this commit:
* Adds a verification at U-Boot configure step that a U-Boot board
name has been defined
* Sets a default U-Boot version if none has been specified, so that
even when U-Boot isn't selected but we want to build mkimage for
the host, a particular U-Boot version is picked.
* Make the host mkimage target depend only on U-Boot being
downloaded/extracted/patched, and the target mkimage/fw_printenv
targets depend on U-Boot being fully configured.
