Now that the package infrastructure doesn't attempt to download a package
that has an empty version string, there's no need to define the VERSION and
SOURCE variables in the makedevs package.

Add the support of capability to makedevs as extended attribute.
Now, it's possible to add a line "|xattr <capability>" after a
file description to also add a capability to this file. It's
possible to add severals capabilities with severals lines.

Currently, makedevs will query the host's /etc/passwd and /etc/group to
resolve usernames and group names. This is inherently flawed, as we can
never guarantee that the UIDs will be the same on the target as on the
host, or even whether a particular user does exist on the host.
This is because getpwnam() and getgrnam() will forcibly read the
system's /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and there is no way to tell them to
look anywhere else.
However, we can use fgetpwent() and fgetgrent() instead, for which
we can pass a FILE* stream to read from to get the entries. This means
we must implement the scanning-loop ourselves, but fortunately, that's
pretty trivial to do.

[Thomas: change license to be GPLv2. The header of makedevs.c is a bit

safest option.]

The sources of the makedevs package are shipped with Buildroot, rather than
downloaded from an external location. As a result, no explicit version is
defined, causing build messages and build directory to show 'undefined' as
version.
This patch sets the version for makedevs to 'buildroot-$(BR2_VERSION), which
would for example expand to 'buildroot-2014.05'.

This allows to have a device table for all directories/files and
another device table for the device files themselves. Both are needed
for static /dev, but only the first one is needed when
devtmpfs/mdev/udev are used.
We take this opportunity to move the documentation of the device table
format in a common location, package/makedevs/README.

The makedevs script did not always generate the requested set of device names / minor number series.
* If start != 0, then requesting (count) devices would generate only (count - start)
* If start != 0 && increment != 1, then requesting minors starting with (minor) would generate minors starting with (minor + (start * (increment - 1)))
This patch fixes the code and updates the usage text with extra examples.
