This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

Instead of asking the user about the GNU target suffix, just compute
it automatically from the other configuration options.

Instead of having a configuration option BR2_GNU_BUILD_SUFFIX, let's
use config.guess to guess the build system type.

Remove the BR2_UPDATE_CONFIG option which allowed to globally
enable/disable the replacement of config.{guess,sub} for
autotools-based packages. Doing it unconditionnally just works.

This option is barely used, no-one is maintaining it or extending
it. So let's remove it.

With multicores everywhere, 2 is probably a bit low - But atleast it's
better than the current default.
This extra parallelism also ensures we get to test the make dependencies
a bit more.

It speeds up configuration considerably.
If a package breaks due to wrong cache-entries, then the broken
other package has to be fixed, not the innocent bystander!
Put short: There is absolutely _no_ need to ever turn the cache off
unless you hack on autotools itself and goof.

hard/softfloat is just one of the many config options, and it only
clutters the filenames.

Change to default Download dir so that different 'make O=<directory>'
commands will use the same location by default without having to
create a symlink in <directory> or having to export BUILDROOT_DL_DIR.

In the output directory, we now have
- build/ where all the packages are built
- images/ where the final kernel and rootfs images are stored
- staging/ the staging directory (containing the development files
and libraries compiled for the target)
- target/ which contains the target root filesystem
- host/ which contains all the host programs
- stamps/ which contains the stamps files
Therefore, the build_ARCH and toolchain_build_ARCH have been
removed. People willing to use the same Buildroot sources to compile
for different architectures are invited to use the O= command line
option for out-of-tree compilation.

This change adds the config options BR2_BZR_CO and BR2_BZR_UP that
allow to configure the commands for doing a checkout/update from
a Bazaar repository.
