[Buildroot] [PATH RFC, v4] package/util-linux: build programs and libraries in separate packages

From: Carlos Santos <unixmania at gmail.com>
The different tools and libraries in util-linux have a lot of optional
dependencies. When we want to support those optional dependencies, we
can easily generate dependency cycles. For instance, findmount and lsblk
need udev to work correctly, but eudev and systemd both depend libblkid,
which comes from util-linux.
Normal distros (e.g. Debian) solve this by first building a minimal
package that has no dependencies at all, then build the packages that
depend on util-linux, and finally rebuild util-linux with all bells and
whistles. Solve it in Buildroot by means of the following changes:
- Split util-linux into two packages:
- util-linux-libs, providing lib{blkid,fdisk,mount,smartcols,uuid}.
- util-linux, providing both the aforementioned libs and the programs.
- Add a blind selection for util-linux-libs, i.e. it is indirectly
selected according to the util-linux options.
- Make host and target util-linux have a build dependencies on the -libs
packages.
- Make eudev and systemd have build dependencies on util-linux-libs.
This can be extended to other packages in the future but is not needed
right now because the configuration options are backward-compatible.
- Make util-linux have an optional build dependency on the package that
provides libudev (either eudev or systemd), if it is selected.
Installing util-linux overrides files installed by util-linux-libs but
this is not a problem: it's allowed for a package to overwrite files
from another package, as long as there is a dependency between the two.
The build dependency of util-linux on util-linux-libs ensures that
util-linux overwrites the files installed by util-linux-libs and not
vice versa. In practice this dependency shouldn't be needed: the only
reason for util-linux-libs to be built is to break a circular
dependency. In that case, there is already a transitive dependency of
util-linux on util-linux-libs, so adding it explicitly is redundant.
Still, better safe than sorry.
We can't do the same for host-util-linux-libs, since there is no config
symbol for it. However, host-util-linux-libs is not used at the moment,
so we can ignore that issue for the time being.
With this approach we don't need to patch configuration files neither
change packages other than eudev and systemd.
Other packages that require util-linux libraries and whose libraries may
be used by util-linux programs can be updated later. We also don't need
to change any existing defconfig, since all configuration options are
kept in the util-linux package.

Changes v1->v2:
- Prevent double installation of the libraries.
- Drop the intrusive patches and AUTORECONF
- Move the the programs to a separate package
- Convert util-linux into a dummy package that drives the other ones.
- Keep configurations and dependencies backward-compatible, except for
eudev and systemd.
- Make BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBS a blind option
Changes v2->v3:
- Fix typos that ruined the conditional installations on TARGET_DIR and
STAGING_DIR, as pointed by Yann E. Morin.
Changes v3->v4:
- Rebase after upgrading util-linux to version 2.34.
- Merge util-linux-programs back into util-linux.
- Make eudev and systemd depend on util-linux-libs.
- Build util-linux with systemd support.
