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.

uClibc has optional support for backtrace() hence on default
configurations where it's disabled it'll fail.
Add patch to make backtrace support conditional and disable it for
uClibc-based builds since it's mostly for debugging purposes. Fixes:

The original aim of this patch was to fix static linking of
btrfs-progs. In order to implement this in the form of patches that
can potentially be upstreamed, this patch first bumps the btrfs-progs
package to the latest upstream stable version. It then:
- Reworks the existing documentation disabling patch in a form that
can potentially be upstreamed.
- Adds a patch to support static building of the btrfs-progs
binaries.
Both patches have been submitted upstream, see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/38145.
