commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=0aade4df1f80d7bff58da2b5d3dfd9d8d6ec4b7d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This patch makes it possible to format the rootfs using btrfs. It
introduces the option; BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_BTRFS.

When selected, the user is able to specify the filesystem size, label,
options, and node and sector sizes. The new files are based on
fs/ext2/{Config.in,ext2.mk}

[Thomas:
 - fix issues pointed by Yann (duplicated empty line, missing quotes
   around default values for string options)
 - use -f option so that we don't have to remove the image file before
   creating it again
 - use the --byte-count option to set the filesystem size, which
   avoids the need for doing a "truncate -s"
 - remove the possible explanation of a mkfs.btrfs error. Indeed,
   mkfs.btrfs automatically extends the size of the image as needed,
   so the size passed can never be "too small".
 - fix check-package warnings in Config.in file.]
