9406d4dc02 elfutils: disable for static builds
Even when doing static builds, a shared library is built. This causes a
build failure under some circumstances, for instance when building for
MIPS + uClibc + static.

After asking upstream if it would be possible to add a configure option
to not build the shared library, the answer was that doing a static
build is not a good idea. Here is a small snippet of the conversation:

"Note that fully static builds are problematic.  elfutils uses dlopen to
open the EBL backends (the CPU-specific support snippets), so even if
you link statically, the final binaries are still considerably dynamic."

3bd799ce22 kexec-lite: Depends on elfutils instead of libelf to get the libelf library
The elfutils package provides a more recent version of the libelf, so
let's use it. It will allow to remove the libelf package and to avoid
conflicts with two packages providing the same library.

e36e7db933 package/kexec-lite: Add a package for the kexec-lite tools
Kexec-lite is a tiny impementation of kexec for devicetree-based
platforms.

[Thomas:
- Add !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB dependency, inherited from the dtc
  package
- Fix license to be GPLv2+, and not just GPL.
- Use $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) instead of manually passing CC, LD,
  CFLAGS.
- Use a full path as the target of $(INSTALL)]
