make-4.3 shipped with a backward incompatible change in how sharp signs
are handled in macros. Previously, up to make 4.2, the sharp sign would
always start a comment, unless backslash-escaped, even in a macro or a
fucntion call.
Now, the sharp sign is no longer starting a comment when it appears
inside such a macro or function call. This behaviour was supposed to be
in force since 3.81, but was not; 4.3 fixed the code to match the doc.
As such, use of external toolchains is broken, as we use the sharp sign
in the copy_toolchain_sysroot macro, in shell variable expansion to
strip off any leading /: ${target\#/}.
Fix that by applying the workaround suggested in the release annoucement
[0], by using a variable to hold a sharp sign.

Add a helper macro that, from a space-separated list of items, returns a
comma-separated list of the quoted items.
This will be useful when we need to generate lists in JSON, later...

Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.
However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:
- the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
"better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");
- similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.
But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.
Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.
Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

pkg-utils.mk contains various definitions that are used in the package
infrastructures and packages themselves.
However, those definitions can be useful in other parts of Buildroot,
and are already used in a few places that are not related to the package
infrastructure. Also, $(sep) will be needed early in the Makefile when
we eventually support multiple br2-external trees.
Since this file only contains definitions, we can include it anytime.
So, consider that file to no longer be specific to the package infras:
- move it to support and rename it,
- move a few similar definitions from the main Makefile to that file.
