[Buildroot] [PATCH V2 0/4] Use only elfutils package to provide the libelf library

Hi,

The libelf is currently provided by 2 packages libelf and
elfutils. The first package provides an old version of the libelf
which is no more compatible with a recent version of ltrace. Having
both libraries could lead to the link on the wrong one during the
build. It is what happened for ltrace.

To avoid this kind of issue, this patch set switch the dependency from
libelf to elfutils and finally removed the libelf package.

I built and fully tested ltrace on ARM.
I built and just ran avrdude on ARM.
I didn't build kexec-lite.

Thanks,

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- Propagated the dependencies from elfutils for kexec-lite and avrdude
- Fixed the subject of the avrdude patch
- Use the -D flag to generate the patch: only the mention of the
  deleted files are kept. This allow to have a very light patch but
  one wille be able to apply the ppatc only using git.
