Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.
Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS
variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to
add.

awk, bison, flex, makeinfo, gettext should be built as dependencies of
packages when needed. In practice, even the toolchain build doesn't
need any of these, and only a few packages do require them.
It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked
through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its
extraction, the dependency is added.

At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change
to the patch logic was discussed. See
http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013
for details. In summary:
* For patches stored in the package directory, if
package/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply package/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch,
otherwise, apply package/<pkg>/*.patch
* For patches stored in the global patches directory, if
$(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply
$(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply
$(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/*.patch
This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks
the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.

This commit renames the newly introduced <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable
to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS, for two reasons:
* <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS will not only "fixup" the scripts in
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, but also remove them from
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin. So it is not only about doing a "fixup".
* On the principle, it is strange that the variable carries an
indication of the action that will take place on those files. It
should rather be named to say "Here are the <foo>-config scripts",
and let the package infrastructure decide if it should fix them up,
remove them, etc.
This commit also updates the documentation accordingly.

The order of the solutions to customize the root filesystem is
changed: we now mention the post-build script mechanism *before* the
custom root filesystem skeleton mechanism, because the former is
preferred over the latter.
In addition to this, we give a few more details about direct
customization of the root filesystem in output/target, and about the
custom target skeleton solution.

Store BR2_DEFCONFIG in .config, and use it to update the original input
defconfig file after updating the configuration. When a config is
created by using the BR2_DEFCONFIG=... option, this is saved in the
.config file; later runs of savedefconfig will update that same location.
It is also possible to configure this place in the interactive
configuration.
The BR2_DEFCONFIG value itself is not saved into the generated
defconfig, since Kconfig considers it at its default. This is
intentional, to avoid hard-coding an absolute path in the defconfig.
It will anyway be set again when the defconfig is used with the
'make BR2_DEFCONFIG=... defconfig' command.
As a side-effect of this change, the *config options have been moved out
of the BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG condition. This doesn't make any functional
difference, because the .config is still not read for the *config targets.
However, the defconfig and savedefconfig targets do need to include
.config now, which makes them slightly slower.

The filesystem overlay is a tree that is copied over the target fs
after building everything - which is currently usually done in the

This patch will add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable to buildroot infra.
It's purpose is to inform buildroot that the package in question
contains some $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/*-config files and that we
want to automatically fix prefixes of such files.
It is often the case that many packages call these
files during their configuration step to determine 3rd party
library package locations and any flags needed to link against them.
For example:
Some package might try to check the existense and linking flags
of NSPR package by calling $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/nspr-config --prefix.
Without this fix. NSPR would return /usr/ as it's prefix which is
wrong when cross-compiling.
Correct would be $(STAGING_DIR)/usr.
All packages that have <pkg>_INSTALL_STAGING = YES defined and
also install some config file(s) into $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin must
hereafter also define <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP with the correspondig
filename(s).
For example:
DIVINE_CONFIG_FIXUP = divine-config
or for multiple files:
IMAGEMAGICK_CONFIG_FIXUP = Magick-config Wand-config

Several projects use the kernel style O=<dir> syntax to build out of tree,
and atleast uClibc doesn't check that it was explictly passed on the command
line, so setting it in the environment breaks the build.

Support scripts (in support/) may need to parse the .config file, so give
them an easy access to it, by exporting BUILDROOT_CONFIG with the fully-
qualified path to .config.
Also, post-build scripts may need to reference a few locations, so export
those, too.
Note: we export both O and BASE_DIR. Although they are the same, BASE_DIR
is used internally, while O is used on the command line, which makes it a
bit ambiguous to know which to use. As users use O= on the command line,
they will probably tend to use that in their post-build scripts.
Update doc accordingly.
