The autoconf support on target has been deprecated for more than four
buildroot releases and thus can be removed. This doesn't change anything
about the host autoconf support.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

When building autoconf for the target, we already passed EMACS="no" to
prevent autoconf from building Emacs mode files. But we weren't doing
that when building autoconf for the host. This causes problems when
'emacs' is not really emacs, but a sort of clone like Jove. So we also
pass EMACS="no" when building host-autoconf to avoid autoconf
./configure script from detecting emacs and then use it to build .elc
files from .el source code.

Finally get rid of all := used for variable definitions in packages,
as we suggest in our manual and during the review of new packages.
While I was at it, I also sometimes added a few missing new lines
between the header and the first variable definition.

automake, autoconf, libtool and make on the target are basically
useless if we don't support building a toolchain on the target. Of
course, the host variant of automake, autoconf and libtool will remain
available.

Since perl no longer requires host-qemu, autoconf and automake work
again on the architectures that are not supported by host-qemu.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

We currently don't build a host-gettext package, so when a package using
gettext is autoreconf'ed, we end up using autopoint from the host.
Autopoint unfortunately requires CVS, so if that isn't available autoreconf
fails.
From reading:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/gettextize-and-autopoint.html
It seems that we don't really need to rerun autopoint, so fix it by
passing autopoint=/bin/true instead.

Autoconf would append -dirty to it's version number, causing build breakage
with packages explicitly requesting autoconf 2.65, if built in a subdir
of a git tree with uncommitted changes. This is a relatively common
situation when developing on BR.

Since we are preparing a package generation mechanism, we would like
to avoid packages that move/touch/modify files which are not part
of their own package. That's why we try to not install host files into
the staging directory (in this case .m4 files) and instead we include
$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share/aclocal into autoreconf search directory.

autoconf >= 2.64 was broken when /bin/sh is symlinked to dash. This
has been fixed post-2.65 by the commit at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=7f75858f577f11a844781764f30cd42cfe8a5669.
Compared to the original patch, the patch included in Buildroot
manually does the change to the ./configure script itself. Otherwise,
the compilation of host-autoconf would require host-autoconf itself.

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for
packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same
for packages using autotools, but not using the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it
for packages with hand written configure scripts.
