Yann E. MORIN 8201c362d7 infra/pkg-kconfig: fix saving the config file
When saving (aka updating) the configuration file of a kconfig package,
a subsequent call to "make" would rebuild the package, even though the
configuration did not actually change.

It took quite a while to understand why. But the reason is so simple and
obvious, when you think about it:

  - $(@D)/.config depends on the config file $(BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE)
  - busybox-update-config then copies $(@D)/.config back to the config
    file $(BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE)
  - so the config file is newer than $(@D)/.config

So, in the next run, pkg-kconfig believes that it has to rebuild
busybox. Bummer... :-/

So, the fix is very trivial, and just requires asking "cp" to preserve
timestamps, so the dependency does not kick in at the next run.

# Kconfig package infrastructure
#
# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of
# package .mk files for packages that use kconfig for configuration files.
# It is based on the generic-package infrastructure, and inherits all of its
# features.
#
# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
# infrastructure.
