 In that contet, I think it's a sane idea to have this commit as a first step,
and do the bump to v1.8.0 (which implies merging gtest and gmock) in a second step.

 Fabrice, care to work on that? If you do, here are some tips:

- GMOCK should become a suboption of GTEST: BR2_PACKAGE_GTEST_GMOCK.
- A legacy entry should be added for it.
- gmock now has a usable cmake and builds gtest implicitly.
- host-gmock is tricky - but perhaps it's no longer needed.


 Regards,
 Arnout
