Following the removal of eglibc support, this commit replaces all
occurences of "(e)glibc" by just "glibc". Most of the occurences are in
package Config.in comments.

In addition, when the form "an (e)glibc ..." was used, it is replaced by
"a glibc ...".

[Peter: add new efi* packages, s/uclibc/uClibc as suggested by Romain,
        systemd / liquid-dsp tweaks as suggested by Yann]

- Remove 0001-argp-support.patch since it's already included upstream:
  https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/elfutils.git/commit/?id=1ab3c2befeedf5bd891cfbe17cfef79c06e5079a

- Tweak patches for this new version:
  - 0002-disable-progs.patch
  - 0003-fts.patch
  - 0004-disable-po.patch
  - 0005-really-make-werror-conditional-to-build-werror.patch

- Remove 0007-Allow-disabling-symbol-versioning-at-configure-t since
  it's already included upstream:
  https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/elfutils.git/commit/?id=bafacacaf7659a4933604662daba26a480b29a8d

- Remove portability patch since it's no longer needed. I have asked
  Mark Wielaard regarding this topic given the portability patch looks
  been discontinued since 0.163 and he replied the following:
  - "I believe it is no longer needed. At least not on any platform I
     am actively maintaining. See also this discussion from last year:
     https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2015-May/004825.html"

- Add zlib dependency since it's now mandatory:
  configure: error: zlib not found but is required

<title>package/elfutils: fix dependency on C library</title>

As Thomas puts it:

    The comment can only be visible when a toolchain that is *not*
    uclibc and *not* glibc is used. I.e, the comment is now only visible
    when musl is used. Which is not what we want.

Indeed, I completely borked the conditions. When a glibc or uClibc
toolchain is selected, the comment is entirely hidden, and we don;t get
the extra requirements (wchar, !static).

Fix that with the solution proposed by Thomas.

<title>package/elfutils: does not build with musl</title>

elfutils uses so many GNUisms in so many places that patching them out
is a tedious task which would make us diverge so much from upstream that
it would become a nightmare to bump elfutils in the future.

Furthermore, elfutils needs argp, which is missing in musl, so it would
need argp-standalone too (as when using a uClibc toolchain).

Make elfutils depend on either glibc or uClibc. argp-standalone is
already required when using a uClibc toolchain, but since we do not
support musl, no need to add that to the condition.

<title>Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:665e13c85e1fd216499cdd335a88a4d1c20f175f</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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."

elfutils depends on !BR2_avr32, but this dependency was not properly
propagated to the comment about toolchain options. This commit fixes
