[Buildroot] [PATCH] Makefile: include BR2_EXTERNAL before other packages

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>

BR2_EXTERNAL may contain packages that are "providers" of generic
functionalities, such as EGL/GLES/...

So, BR2_EXTERNAL must be included before our built-in packages,
otherwise the dependencies and rules for our built-in packages
are evaluated too early.

David has reported that doing so fixes his use-case, but we should
still consider this as a stop-gap until we can come up with a proper
fix.

Remove a superfluous extra empty line at the same time.
