The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

Some packages use the buildroot version string (to set their own version
string). Computing the version string globally will makes it easy for
them to use it instead of re-computing it in every packages.

This re-instates writing the version string in .config headers, and no
longer provides it as a kconfig symbol in .config (it is now a variable

If building out-of-tree, add a Makefile wrapper that calls-out to the real
Makefile with proper args.
Avoids having to pass -C and O= every time we call make.
This is highly inspired from how the Linux kernel does it, and portions of
it have been used. We can't use exactly the same implementation as the
kernel does, because:
- the script writing the wrapper has been expunged of the few lines
that were too kernel-related: in buildroot we do not need the version
string in the wrapper, and we do not have a patchlevel version;
- "in-tree build" does not have the same meaning for the kernel and for
buildroot: for the kernel, $(O) point to the $(TOPDIR), while for
buildroot $(O) points to $(TOPDIR)/output.

The new DL_MODE variable dispatches between the various download
implementations of each method (Git, Subversion, Wget) to deal with the
normal download (default mode, 'DOWNLOAD'), the source-check
('SOURCE_CHECK') and to show the external dependencies for external-deps
('SHOW_EXTERNAL_DEPS').
For the latter, the legacy script wget-show-external-deps.sh is no
longer required as $(WGET) isn't called directly anymore but always
through the DOWNLOAD helper.

The previous commit has removed calls to conf_write_autoconf(), which
is the function that generates the KCONFIG_AUTOCONF,
KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER, KCONFIG_TRISTATE files and the split config (with
one file per config item). Therefore, those things were not generated
anymore before the build.
In order to get them generated before the build, we use the same
mechanism as the kernel: run a silentoldconfig when the .config file
is newer than the KCONFIG_AUTOCONF file.
In Buildroot, all those elements are not really used today, except the
split config which is used a little bit in the toolchain build, in a
try to make sure the toolchain gets rebuilt properly when the
configuration changes. It does not seem that this work has been
completed.
However, as we want to keep the same behaviour as previously, we have
to generate all those elements before starting the build.

Our kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch hasn't been kept up to date with all
the changes made into package/config, and a single patch wasn't very
practical to maintain all our changes. Therefore, this commit adds a
package/config/patches directory, which contains a Quilt series of
patches that correspond to our modifications to the kconfig mechanism.
The huge kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch has been split into 16 smaller
patches. The purpose of some of the modifications has been clearly
identified, while some others were not identified.
The 16 patches together do match exactly the old
kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch. We have been very careful in making sure
that we wouldn't loose any of our modifications.
The only modifications made are :
* Instead of renaming the kernel Makefile to Makefile.kconfig and
naming the Buildroot Makefile just 'Makefile', we instead keep the
original package/config/Makefile from the kernel
scripts/kconfig/Makefile and name the Buildroot Makefile
package/config/Makefile.br. The main Buildroot Makefile is modified
accordingly.
* The documentation README.buildroot2 is updated to explain how to
upgrade to a newer version of scripts/kconfig.
* The kconfig-language.txt documentation is removed, as anybody can
easily find it in the kernel sources so there's no need to
duplicate it here.

Recent versions of ldconfig require the directory /var/lib/ldconfig,
otherwise they bail out with an error. Moreover, having a
/etc/ld.so.conf file also avoids a warning.
In addition to this, we remove the redirection of stderr, so that
errors remain visible to the user.

the issue and proposing solutions.

Now that the .config is located in the output directory when O=<dir>

source/source-check/external-deps to get them to look in the right place

call back into the toplevel Makefile.

Including a bunch of Makefiles with wildcard makes it impossible to add
new toolchain backends. Avoid that by namely including needed files.
The external toolchain still needs to include all the toolchain/*/*.mk
sub-makefiles, as they are needed to build a toolchain that runs on the
target. It is to be noted that the cross-toolchain is not built in this
case, as the make-targets to build the cross-toolchain are not present
in the $(BASE_TARGETS) variable, which is later used to create the
dependency rules.
Also, the comment 'Explicit ordering' has been removed, as it is mis-
leading. It is make's responsibility to create the proper ordering based
on the dependency rules it finds in the Makefiles

Commit ed0d45fdd (Choose host/target ldconfig based on availability)
added a runtime check for a cross-ldconfig being available.
Unfortunately this checks runs too early (at package/Makefile.in parsing
time), so it always fails when using an internal toolchain as ldconfig
isn't built yet.
Fix it by moving the check to the only place it is used (target-finalize).

This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

Make sure we only pass O=<path> if we were originally called like that,
otherwise we might end up looking for the .config in the wrong place.
Likewise, when changing between using O= or not (or simply running
make <blah>_defconfig in a pristine source tree), we do end up having
a .config, but no .config.cmd. It isn't really critical so just continue
even if we couldn't read it.
