Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

[Thomas:
- add dependency on threads, wchar and dynamic librayr
- add dependency on libiconv when locale support is not enabled
- replace patch hacking includedir by a patch that lets the Makefile
obey to $(DESTDIR)
- remove optional OpenSSL and MySQL support which simply cannot work
due to the usage of AC_CHECK_FILE() in configure.ac, this required
an additional patch to fix the bogus AC_ARG_WITH() calls.
- move from 'Miscellaneous' to 'Libraries' -> 'Other'.
- fixup the licensing information.]
