Turn the static lib option into a choice with more options

This commit turns the single static option into a choice, which offers
various possibilities:

 1. Build and use static libraries only;
 2. Build both shared and static libraries, but use shared libraries;
 3. Build and use shared libraries only.

On most platforms, (2) is currently the default, and kept as the
default in this commit. Of course, on certain platforms (Blackfin,
m68k), only option (1) will be available.

In addition to the introduction of the Config.in options, this commit
also:

 * Removes the 'select BR2_STATIC_LIBS' from 'BR2_BINFMT_FLAT', since
   with the use of a choice, we are guaranteed that BR2_STATIC_LIBS
   will be selected when the binary format is BR2_BINFMT_FLAT, since
   BR2_STATIC_LIBS will be the only possible solution in the choice.

 * Changes package/Makefile.in to use the proper
   --{enable,disable}-{shared,static} options for autotools packages.

[Thomas: remove useless empty newline right after 'choice'. Noticed by
Yann E. Morin.]

Build all applications for the target statically linked.
This potentially increases your filesystem size and should only be
used if you know what you do.
Select the type of libraries you want to use on the target.
Note that some applications cannot be build statically and so are
intentionally disabled.
The default is to build dynamic libraries and use those on
the target filesystem, except when the architecture and/or
the selected binary format does not support shared
libraries.
The default (if this option is disabled) is to build dynamic
libraries and dynamically link applications to use those on the
target filesystem.

bool "static only"
help
Build and use only static libraries. No shared libraries
will be instaled on the target. This potentially increases
your code size and should only be used if you know what you
are doing. Note that some packages may not be available when
this option is enabled, due to their need for dynamic
library support.

Build and use only shared libraries. This is the recommended
solution as it saves space and build time.

depends on BR2_BINFMT_SUPPORTS_SHARED
help
Build both shared and static libraries, but link executables
dynamically. While building both shared and static libraries
take more time and more disk space, having static libraries
may be useful to link some of the applications statically.
