[Buildroot] [PATCH v1 00/30] Add Chromium Embedded Framework library

Hi all,

This patch series adds the Chromium Embedded Framework library to
Buildroot.

We've tried to address all feedback from the RFCs posted to this
list, so thank you to everyone who has contributed to that.

If there are any further clarifications, we'll respond directly.

Features:
- cefsimple sample application
- Widevine support
- ARM cross compilation (tested on a Raspberry Pi)
- Intel VA-API
- Tested with internal and external toolchains (Crosstool-NG)
  for arm and x86_64.

The branch is split up into the following sections:
1. Buildroot changes to support libcef
2. The libcef package itself
3. libcef features, excluding V8 snapshot
4. A series of host packages required by the V8 snapshot feature
5. The V8 snapshot feature


Any more feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Michael Drake


Changes since RFC v3 (high-level):
- Improved comments.
- Fixed arm cross-compilation.
- Fixed v8 snapshot feature dependency on system libs instead of
  buildroot host package libs.
- Fixed the generated libcef_dll_wrapper.a to be compatible with
  the buildroot toolchain.  Previously it contained LLVM IR bytecode.
- Using [PATCH v8] which adds compiler-rt, with feedback applied.
- Included `pkgconf --keep-system-libs` fixup.

Changes since RFC v2 (high-level):
- Updated to CEF 78.2.9+g4907ec5+chromium-78.0.3904.70
- Now using bitbucket auto-archive feature
- Moved staging variables closer to the definition where they are used
- Using the new host-pkg-config wrapper based on pkgconf-personality
  fixup (we fixed up qt5webengine too).
- Wired up the Chromium `use_sysroot` and `target_sysroot` GN defines
- Added "host" architecture to LLVM targets (Chromium needs to build
  host binaries when cross compiling for ARM)
- Tidied up clang flags
- Added more comments describing `is_official_build` and the second
  output build directory (for building libcef_dll_wrapper).
- Removed cefclient because it has ancient dependencies
- Split out features into separate commits
- Moved patching to LIBCEF_PRE_PATCH_HOOKS
- Utilise the toolchain unbundling BUILD.gn
- Removed useless Python2 linking
- Install libEGL.so and libGLESv2.so, which are required by the browser
