This patch also removes an incorrect dependency between host-libftdi and
host-boost when BR2_PACKAGE_LIBTFDI_CPP is set.

Add a new package variable that packages can set to specify that they
need git submodules.
Only accept this option if the download method is git, as we can not get
submodules via an http download (via wget).

Some git repositories may be split into a master repository and
submodules. Up until now, we did not have support for submodules,
because we were using bare clones, in which it is not possible to
update the list of submodules.
Now that we are using plain clones with a working copy, we can retrieve
the submdoules.
Add an option to the git download helper to kick the update of
submodules, so that they are only fetched for those packages that
require them. Also document the existing -q option at the same time.
Submodules have a .git file at their root, which contains the path to
the real .git directory of the master repository. Since we remove it,
there is no point in keeping those .git files either.
Note: this is currently unused, but will be enabled with the follow-up
patch that adds the necessary parts in the pkg-generic and pkg-download
infrastructures.

We currently use git-archive to generate the tarball. This is all handy
and dandy, but git-archive does not support submodules. In the follow-up
patch, we're going to handle submodules, so we would not be able to use
git-archive.
Instead, we manually generate the archive:
- extract the tree to the requested cset,
- get the date of the commit to store in the archive,
- store only numeric owners,
- store owner and group as 0 (zero, although any arbitrary value would
have been fine, as long as it's a constant),
- sort the files to store in the archive.
We also get rid of the .git directory, because there is no reason to
keep it in the context of Buildroot. Some people would love to keep it
so as to speed up later downloads when updating a package, but that is
not really doable. For example:
- use current Buildroot
- it would need foo-12345, so do a clone and keep the .git in the
generated tarball
- update Buildroot
- it would need foo-98765
For that second clone, how could we know we would have to first extract
foo-12345 ? So, the .git in the archive is pretty much useless for
Buildroot.

Currently, we are using bare clones, so as to minimise the disk usage,
most notably for largeish repositories such as the one for the Linux
kernel, which can go beyond the 1GiB barrier.
However, this precludes updating (and thus using) the submodules, if
any, of the repositories, as a working copy is required to use
submodules (becaue we need to know the list of submodules, where to find
them, where to clone them, what cset to checkout, and all those is
dependent upon the checked out cset of the father repository).
Switch to using /plain/ clones with a working copy.
This means that the extra refs used by some forges (like pull-requests
for Github, or changes for gerrit...) are no longer fetched as part of
the clone, because git does not offer to do a mirror clone when there is
a working copy.
Instead, we have to fetch those special refs by hand. Since there is no
easy solution to know whether the cset the user asked for is such a
special ref or not, we just try to always fetch the cset requested by
the user; if this fails, we assume that this is not a special ref (most
probably, it is a sha1) and we defer the check to the archive creation,
which would fail if the requested cset is missing anyway.

Until now this library wasn't handled by the Buildroot packaging,
so add a new config option to disable it when requested.
Also disable boost-type_erasure for the host variant to keep it as
minimal as possible.
