[Buildroot] [PATCH v5 1/3] package/environment-setup: new package

From: Angelo Compagnucci <angelo.compagnucci at gmail.com>

Install an helper script to setup a build environment based on buildroot.
It's useful when a developer wants to use a buildroot generated sdk to
build an external project.
Due to the nature of the intrusiveness of this script, a new PS1 is
installed to let the user understand that the current running shell is
not a normal shell.

Changelog:
v1->v2:
 * Moved from echo to printf (Yann)
 * removed sh extension (Yann)
 * Adding missing script
v2->v3:
 * Split the patch
v3->v4:
 * Better handling of SDK_PATH dir (Mircea Gliga)
v4->v5:
 * Cleaning the script using SDK_PATH where possible (Mircea Gliga)

Some of the reason I kept several things the way I originally planned:

 * I kept it being a package because it doesn't fit in any other tool:
   indeed this script changes your curent PATH and exports some variables
   that can be used for anything. Think of qmake or cmake or a package
   that doesn't have any build system at all. It has some features geared
   also towards autotools software but I keep planning others.
 * I kept the script being installed in host root: other build system does that
   and I want this script to mimic other build systems.
 * I kept looping in TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS, indeed it produces a more clean
   environment script at the end. For the problem arised by Yann: variables in
   TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS _are_ properly escaped, indeed if not, they were a
   big source of problems on each ./configure invocation due to the fact they
   are injected on the ./configure commandline invocation.
 * I kept the PS1: this script heavily mess with the path, it is expected by the
   user running it, but it can be very confusing being on a shell that
   doesn't behaves like your normal shell. So having a different PS1 helps
   remembering you are running into the buildroot shell and not into an ordinary
   one (other build systems does the same).
 * I kept the manual entry: I think that the most documentation the better.
