This patch makes below changes to powerpc-utils package:
- Update to latest upstream version (v1.3.1)
- Update License (from CPL to GPLv2)
- Update source link (from SF to github)
- Disable librtas by default
- Finally make necessary adjustment to compile the source
(run autogen.sh before ./configure as we don't have configure in new tarball).
RTAS:
This package contains few tools (like nvram, ppc64_cpu, etc) which are not
dependent on RTAS support. Traditionally we always had RTAS support (at least
on IBM Power system). But now a days we do have environments like PowerNV host
where we do not have RTAS support. Instead we use OPAL for runtime service [1].
Hence lets disable RTAS by default. If someone wants to build powerpc-utils
with RTAS they can enable it.

Now that librtas is available, optionally use it with powerpc-utils to
enable it's RTAS dependant functionality. It is used by default, as
most distros do, but made optional because it adds several new programs
and significantly increases the size of the installed package.
[Thomas: propagate the glibc dependency from the librtas package, as
suggested by Romain Naour.]

Fixes CVE-2014-4040: A local attacker could obtain sensitive information from
the generated archive such as plain text passwords.
Yes, version 1.2.24 seems to be newer than 1.4, which is equivalent to 1.2.20.
Also, switch from git clone to tarball download , and add a .hash file.
The configure script seems to misdetect stack smashing protection support in
the toolchain. gcc accepts -fstack_protector_all, but the linker complains:
"ld: cannot find -lssp".

To be consistent with the recent change of FOO_MAKE_OPT into FOO_MAKE_OPTS,
make the same change for FOO_CONF_OPT.

This change adds a package definition for the powerpc-utils project,
containing a set of powerpc-specific hardware management utilities.
We're using a git tag from upstream, which contains a few build-system
fixes.
[Thomas:
- Add dependency on PowerPC architecture in Config.in.
- Add homepage in Config.in help text.]
