[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] core: check hashes of license files

Hello All!

This small series is a proposal to check the hashes of the license files
during legal-info, to catch the packages whose license changes but where
the text of the new license is in the same file.

This was suggested by Rahul recently:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-June/194425.html

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - call MESSAGE to display current package name  (Luca)
  - don't mention weak hashes  (Luca)
  - fix support script check-package  (Ricardo)


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
