This commit removes the version selection for the busybox
package. Busybox is very well maintained, and bugs are typically fixed
in a timely fashion. Moreover, regressions are fairly unlikely in this
very stable and well-tested tool.
Therefore, there isn't a very compelling reason to have a version
selection for Busybox since we don't accept such a version selection
for the vast majority of other packages, unless there is a strong
reason to do so.
Consequently, this commit:
* Removes the 1.19.4, 1.20.2 and 1.21.1 Busybox versions, patches and
default configuration file.
* Moves the 1.22.1 patches from package/busybox/1.22.1 to just
package/busybox/ like all other packages.
* Renames the default 1.22.1 configuration file to just
busybox.config.
* Adapts the busybox.mk makefile to encode the current version to
use.
* Adds appropriate options to Config.in.legacy. However, even though
the BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_22_X is removed, we don't add a
Config.in.legacy option for it, since it would cause a legacy
warning for virtually *all* users as most people are currently
using 1.22.x.

We support a busybox-menuconfig target so that the BusyBox
configuration can be adjusted as needed. However, depending
on what other packages are enabled, re-installing BusyBox
symlinks that duplicate "real" apps after the configuration
change can result in bad behaviors:
* At best, the BusyBox applet will be used after the
install, versus the desired "real" app.
* At worst, the built rootfs can become unbootable.
The BusyBox install.sh has some capability to avoid this issue
by means of a --noclobber option. By default, this option is
disabled. When enabled, the install.sh will not overwrite a
target file with a symlink or hardlink, be it an actual file
or a previously installed BusyBox link.
The install.sh's argument processing is somewhat broken, so this
patch simply changes the default value of the noclobber option
to on, rather than add --noclobber to the install.sh invocation.

The three typical packages that use .config files in buildroot copy the
config file at different times in the build process:
busybox copies its .config from the post-extract hook.
linux copies its .config in the configure_cmds.
uclibc copies its .config from the post-patch hook.
Copying the .config file from the configure step is the only way to properly
support an OVERRIDE_SRCDIR that does not yet have the .config file, because
the extract and patch steps are skipped in that case.
For example, when setting a BUSYBOX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR to a cleanly extracted
busybox tarball:
$ make busybox-dirclean busybox
rm -Rf [..]/output/build/busybox-custom
>>> busybox custom Syncing from source dir
>>> /home/tdescham/repo/contrib/busybox-1.21.1
rsync -au --exclude .svn --exclude .git --exclude .hg --exclude .bzr
--exclude CVS /home/tdescham/repo/contrib/busybox-1.21.1/
[..]/output/build/busybox-custom
>>> busybox custom Configuring
/bin/sed -i -e "/\\<CONFIG_NOMMU\\>/d"
[..]/output/build/busybox-custom/.config
/bin/sed: can't read [..]/output/build/busybox-custom/.config:
No such file or directory
make: *** [[..]/output/build/busybox-custom/.stamp_configured] Error 2
This patch modifies busybox.mk to copy the config file from the configure
step instead, as linux is doing, and fixing the described scenario.

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.

* The PID file is not created unless the '-m' option is passed to
start-stop-daemon.
* Remove the mark '-m 0' option as it's not supported by busybox's
syslogd.
* Syslogd and Klogd forks to background by default giving as a result
that the pid stored in the PID file is not correct. Let the
background job be done by 'start-stop-daemon' by passing '-n'
(foreground) to the daemons and '-b' to start-stop-daemon. This
way the pid stored in the PID files is correct.

When udhcpc is used on multiple network devices at the same time (or a mix
of dhcp and fixed configuration), /etc/resolv.conf should contain the
union of information from all the interfaces.
Currently that's not the case. The udhcpc script simply overwrites
resolv.conf with the information from the specific interface on each dhcp
bound/renew event.
Fix it by tagging lines with the interface they came from when added,
and drop the affected lines on deconfig/renew. As /etc/resolv.conf is
often a symlink to /tmp (and rootfs might be read only), special care
has to be taken when it is updated.
Notice that I'm not really aware of any official documentation requiring
that '#' comments in /etc/resolv.conf must be supported, but atleast
glibc and uClibc do.

ifconfig up is a no-op if the device is already running, so let's just
do that unconditionally.
Systems might have multiple network devices, and perhaps run udhcpc on
another interface even when booted over nfs, so don't disable the
per-interface deconfig based on the global nfsroot= setting on the kernel
command line.
If you don't want udhcpc to mess with kernel level IP autoconfiguration
(E.G. for nfs boot), you should instead ensure udhcpc/ifup/ifplugd isn't
started for that interface.

We're currently using two different udhcpc scripts, one in the busybox
package and another in the avahi one, which calls avahi-autoipd on
dhcp failures.
The avahi one actually only does something differently from the default
if avahi-autoipd is available, so let's just always use this one instead
of the complicated logic about writing the file if not present /
overwriting it afterwards.
