commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=c4e6d5c8be6ada8e7c60950e3b499c55d48761cb
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

This commit implements the core of the move to per-package SDK and
target directories. The main idea is that instead of having a global
output/host and output/target in which all packages install files, we
switch to per-package host and target directories, that only contain
their explicit dependencies.

There are two main benefits:

 - Packages will now see only the dependencies they explicitly list in
   their <pkg>_DEPENDENCIES variable, and the recursive dependencies
   thereof.

 - We can support top-level parallel build properly, because a package
   only "sees" its own host directory and target directory, isolated
   from the build of other packages that can happen in parallel.

It works as follows:

 - A new output/per-package/ directory is created, which will contain
   one sub-directory per package, and inside it, a "host" directory
   and a "target" directory:

   output/per-package/busybox/target
   output/per-package/busybox/host
   output/per-package/host-fakeroot/target
   output/per-package/host-fakeroot/host

   This output/per-package/ directory is PER_PACKAGE_DIR.

 - The global TARGET_DIR and HOST_DIR variable now automatically point
   to the per-package directory when PKG is defined. So whenever a
   package references $(HOST_DIR) or $(TARGET_DIR) in its build
   process, it effectively references the per-package host/target
   directories. Note that STAGING_DIR is a sub-dir of HOST_DIR, so it
   is handled as well.

 - Of course, packages have dependencies, so those dependencies must
   be installed in the per-package host and target directories. To do
   so, we simply rsync (using hard links to save space and time) the
   host and target directories of the direct dependencies of the
   package to the current package host and target directories.

   We only need to take care of direct dependencies (and not
   recursively all dependencies), because we accumulate into those
   per-package host and target directories the files installed by the
   dependencies. Note that this only works because we make the
   assumption that one package does *not* overwrite files installed by
   another package.

   This is done for "extract dependencies" at the beginning of the
   extract step, and for "normal dependencies" at the beginning of the
   configure step.

This is basically enough to make per-package SDK and target work. The
only gotcha is that at the end of the build, output/target and
output/host are empty, which means that:

 - The filesystem image creation code cannot work.

 - We don't have a SDK to build code outside of Buildroot.

In order to fix this, this commit extends the target-finalize step so
that it starts by populating output/target and output/host by
rsync-ing into them the target and host directories of all packages
listed in the $(PACKAGES) variable. It is necessary to do this
sequentially in the target-finalize step and not in each
package. Doing it in package installation means that it can be done in
parallel. In that case, there is a chance that two rsyncs are creating
the same hardlink or directory at the same time, which makes one of
them fail.

This change to per-package directories has an impact on the RPATH
built into the host binaries, as those RPATH now point to various
per-package host directories, and no longer to the global host
directory. We do not try to rewrite such RPATHs during the build as
having such RPATHs is perfectly fine, but we still need to handle two
fallouts from this change:

 - The check-host-rpath script, which verifies at the end of each
   package installation that it has the appropriate RPATH, is modified
   to understand that a RPATH to $(PER_PACKAGE_DIR)/<pkg>/host/lib is
   a correct RPAT.

 - The fix-rpath script, which mungles the RPATH mainly for the SDK
   preparation, is modified to rewrite the RPATH to not point to
   per-package directories. Indeed the patchelf --make-rpath-relative
   call only works if the RPATH points to the ROOTDIR passed as
   argument, and this ROOTDIR is the global host directory. Rewriting
   the RPATH to not point to per-package host directories prior to
   this is an easy solution to this issue.
