Until now, libaio contained some architecture specific code to do the
syscalls. In fact, it contained a generic variant of the code called
syscall-generic.h, but it was showing a warning when it was used, as
if it was "not safe". Consequently, in Buildroot, we had chosen to
support libaio only on a the subset of architectures that were
explicitly handled by libaio.
However, between 0.3.110 and 0.3.111, libaio upstream entirely dropped
the architecture-specific code:
https://pagure.io/libaio/c/97fd3fc0195500e616e34047cba4846164c411d9?branch=master
Consequently, in this patch, we:
- Bump libaio to 0.3.111.
- Switch to the new upstream at https://pagure.io/libaio/.
- Drop the 0001-arches.patch patch, which was adding support for
MIPS, since we no longer need architecture-specific code.
- Update the remaining patches, and Git-format one of them which
wasn't Git-formatted.
- Drop the BR2_PACKAGE_LIBAIO_ARCH_SUPPORTS option and all its uses.

In order to allow other packages to easily select libaio without
duplicating its complicated architecture dependencies, this commit
introduces a BR2_PACKAGE_LIBAIO_ARCH_SUPPORTS blind option.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

This patch lines up the comments in Config.in files that clarify which
toolchain options the package depends on.
