[Buildroot] [pull request v2] Detect and fix circular dependencies

Hello All!

We currently have two circular dependencies:
    cups <- avahi <- libglade <- libgtk2 -< cups
    cups <- avahi <- libgtk3 <- cups

This series fixes those two loops (by cutting the libgtk{2,3} <- cups
dependency).

It also adds support for detecting future such circular dependencies,
and makes the graph-depends script robust in such a situation.


Changes v1 -> v2:
  - optimise the loop detection  (Thomas, Arnout)
  - add timings for the new check  (Thomas)
  - actually fix the two loops
  - enhance graph-depends to only check dependencies


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
