Yann E. MORIN 88134135fc package/glibc: switch to using the maintenance branch
glibc upstream has ruled against doing regular point-releases, but they
do have a lot of interesting and important fixes for regressions and
security.

Backporting each patch, or cherry-picking individual patches is off
limits for us, so we just switch to using the currently-latest HEAD of
the maintenance branch instead.

The version number is obtained with:
    $ git describe --match 'glibc-*' --abbrev=40 origin/release/2.26/master

The alternative options were:
  - download the tarball from the git tree
    --> does not work; not an option
  - download the 2.26 tarball, and bundle the individual patches in
    Buildroot
    --> maintenance of patches is a burden; not an option
  - download the 2.26 tarball, maintain the list of patches to download from
    the git tree
    --> not an option for the same reason

So we end up just doing a git clone. The git tree is today about ten
times the size of the tarball, so a rough estimate makes it at about ten
times the download time.

Also upstream doesn't officially provide an https download location [1].
There is one but it's not reliable, sometimes the connection time out and
end-up with a corrupted git repo:

fatal: unable to access 'https://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git/': Failed to connect to sourceware.org port 443: Connection timed out

So switch to using a git mirror from github which is updated once a day [2].
This allow at the same time to clone the git repository faster.

Note: The glibc 2.26 patches are not kept for the arc toolchain since they
are fixing an issue with the new float128 support introduced in x86, x86_64
and powerpc64le.
