556a0a1104 Revert "make: support: use command -v' instead of which'"
This reverts commit ca6a2907c2.

Switching to using 'command -v' instead of 'which', opened a can of
worms that is hard to fix in a timely manner:

  - recursive call to 'make' from a post-build, post-iamge script, fails
    because of a redefinition of HOSTCC_NOCCACHE (a bug on its own that
    needs a separate fix anyway) [0];

  - 'make' believeing it can call "simple" commands with execve() et al.
    instead of passing them through a shell via system(), and thus
    failing to find 'command' in the PATH [1].

ca6a2907c2 make: support: use command -v' instead of which'
`which' has been discontinued after 2.21 release in 2015 due this (git
repository is empty [1]) and version shipped in Debian produces warning
[2]:

/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in scripts instead.

`command is POSIX [3] and supported on all common shells (bash, zsh,
dash, busybox sh, mksh).

Patch tested on dash as the default shell.

d1f325f554 xzcat: treat as host prerequisite and build if needed
If xzcat is not present on the host system, buildroot bails out early asking
the developer to install it (xzcat is now a DL_TOOLS_DEPENDENCY)
Conversely, when BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_XZ is enabled, then host-xz is a
build dependency, and no manual action is required from the developer.

Because the second approach is nicer, also build host-xz when xzcat is not
available, using the host-prerequisite and suitable-host-pkg mechanisms,
already used for tar.
