Thomas Petazzoni 665e13c85e Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS
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.

The libphidget library provides an API for controlling Phidgets
USB devices. The library translates API function calls to libusb
function calls to control attached Phidgets devices that provide
GPIO's, DAC's, accelerometers, servo motors, and other capabilities
either singly or on combo devices.
To use libphidget for controlling locally attached devices you
need to set up the userspace USB device tree /dev/bus/usb. See
file udev/99-phidgets.rules.
The libphidget library also contains an API for sending commands
to a local or remote phidgetwebservice using HTTP. The
phidgetwebservice then translates HTTP requests to libphidget API
function calls to control locally attached Phidgets devices.
