Yann E. MORIN 339e1c9500 core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfig
Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.

However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:

  - the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
    build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
    "better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");

  - similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.

But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.

Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.

Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

# Case conversion macros. This is inspired by the 'up' macro from gmsl
# (http://gmsl.sf.net). It is optimised very heavily because these macros
# are used a lot. It is about 5 times faster than forking a shell and tr.
#
# The caseconvert-helper creates a definition of the case conversion macro.
# After expansion by the outer $(eval ), the UPPERCASE macro is defined as:
# $(strip $(eval __tmp := $(1)) $(eval __tmp := $(subst a,A,$(__tmp))) ... )
# In other words, every letter is substituted one by one.
#
# The caseconvert-helper allows us to create this definition out of the
# [FROM] and [TO] lists, so we don't need to write down every substition
# manually. The uses of $ and $$ quoting are chosen in order to do as
# much expansion as possible up-front.
#
# Note that it would be possible to conceive a slightly more optimal
# implementation that avoids the use of __tmp, but that would be even
# more unreadable and is not worth the effort.

# This macro properly escapes a command string, then prints it with printf:
#
# - first, backslash '\' are self-escaped, so that they do not escape
# the following char and so that printf properly outputs a backslash;
#
# - next, single quotes are escaped by closing an existing one, adding
# an escaped one, and re-openning a new one (see below for the reason);
#
# - then '%' signs are self-escaped so that the printf does not interpret
# them as a format specifier, in case the variable contains an actual
# printf with a format;
#
# - finally, $(sep) is replaced with the literal '\n' so that make does
# not break on the so-expanded variable, but so that the printf does
# correctly output an LF.
#
# Note: this must be escaped in this order to avoid over-escaping the
# previously escaped elements.
#
# Once everything has been escaped, it is passed between single quotes
# (that's why the single-quotes are escaped they way they are, above,
# and why the dollar sign is not escaped) to printf(1). A trailing
# newline is apended, too.
#
# Note: leading or trailing spaces are *not* stripped.
