[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 0/7] Support building a second Barebox config (incl. BBB)

This patch-set adds support for building barebox with up to 2 configurations.
It can be used to build the barebox x-loader or MLO (also called Secondary
Program Loader) in addition to the standard barebox build (Tertiary Program
Loader). This implements the design proposed in
http://elinux.org/Buildroot#Todo_list, with minor adjustments:
1. Have boot/barebox/barebox.mk contain the common stuff.
2. Add a second package boot/barebox/barebox-2.
3. There is only one version selection, but each package allows to
   define the configuration to be used.
4. Design is a little bit like package/gcc, where we have multiple gcc builds,
   but share a lot of common definitions between the packages.

To demonstrate that it works as advertized, the last patch adds a defconfig for
the beaglebone that makes use of the added functionality.
