It is often difficult to know exactly when make will expand the
variable, and usually it can only be expanded after the dependencies
have been built (e.g. pkg-config or the .pc file). Using a backtick
instead makes it very clear that it will be expanded only while
executing the command.
This change is useful for two cases:
1. The per-package staging (and host) directory will be created as part
of the configure step, so any $(shell ...) variable that is used in
the configure step will fail because the directory doesn't exist
yet.
2. 'make printvars' evaluates the variables it prints. It will therefore
trigger a lot of errors from missing .pc files and others. The
backticks, on the other hand, are not expanded, so with this change
the output of 'make printvars' becomes clean again.
This commit contains only the easy changes: replace $(shell ...) with
`...`, and also replace ' with " where needed. Follow-up commits will
tackle the more complicated cases that need additional explanation.
After this change, the following instances of $(shell ...) will remain:
- All assignments that use :=
- All variables that are used in make conditionals (which don't expand
the backticks).
- All variables that only refer to system executables and make
variables that don't change.
- The calls to check-host-* in dependencies.mk, because it is eval'ed.

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

Finally get rid of all := used for variable definitions in packages,
as we suggest in our manual and during the review of new packages.
While I was at it, I also sometimes added a few missing new lines
between the header and the first variable definition.

This removes fbv's compulsory dependency on either libpng and/or libjpeg and/or libungif.
The user can choose which compressed image format's fbv should support.
By default PNG, JPEG and GIF are selected.
Note that BMP format support will still always be included.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

A C library will have been built by the toolchain makefiles, so there is no
need for packages to explicitly depend on uclibc.
