Yann E. MORIN 5da8218184 support/download: drop support for the 'none' hash
Commit 1ba85b7f87 (support/download: add explicit no-hash support)
introduced the 'none' hash type, in an attempt to make hash files
mandatory, but not failing on archives localy generated, like those
for git or svn repositories, especially for those packages where a
version choice was present, which would allow for either remote
archives for which we'd have a hash or VCS trees for which we could
not have a hash for the localy generated archive.

Indeed, back in the time, we did not have a mean to generate
reproducible archives, so having a hash file without a hash for
thosel ocally generated archives would trigger an error in the
hash-checking machinery.

But now, low-and-behold, we do know how to generate those archives,
and we have a mechanism to explicitly exclude some archives from being
hash-checked (e.g. when the version string itself can be user-provided).

As such, the 'none' hash type no longer has any raison d'ĂȘtre, we do not
use it in-tree, and its use in a br2-external tree is most probably
inexistent (as is the use of hash files alotgether most probably).

So we simply drop the support for that.

Patrick Havelange 9d5749d2de docs/manual/cargo: document the cargo-package infrastructure
The Buildroot manual was already providing some details on how to
integrate Cargo packages, and those details now need to be updated
with a proper documentation for the cargo-package infrastructure, as
well as updates related to vendoring support, which affects how
dependencies are handled.

In addition, now that we have vendoring support for Cargo packages,
let's rewrite the dependency management section in a more accurate
way.

We drop the part about the local cache of the registry, because
+CARGO_HOME+ in Buildroot points to $(HOST_DIR)/share/cargo, which is
not shared between builds nor preserved accross builds, so its effect
as a cache is limited.

Miquel Raynal 6a7a652b14 package/sunxi-mali-utgard: rename from sunxi-mali-mainline
This package provides Mali libraries for Sunxi Mali Utgard GPUs. The
trailing -mainline is historical and was used at a time when there was
two packages providing these libraries. The "non-upstream" package has
been removed some time ago so before adding new packages bringing
support for other ARM Mali GPU versions or implementations, rename
sunxi-mali-mainline into sunxi-mali-utgard.

Add a legacy entry.

Thomas Preston 16f660f8ce support/download: Add SFTP support
Add Secure File Transfer Program (SFTP) support using a simple wrapper.
SFTP is a common protocol used to transfer files securely between
enterprises, but it is not currently supported in Buildroot because all
of the packages are usually available via HTTP, git or some other
download method.

SFTP is similar to FTP but it preforms all operations over an encrypted
SSH transport using a specific protocol. This is unlike ftps, which is
traditional FTP over an SSL/TLS connection.

Thomas Petazzoni 23186356a1 support/scripts/generate-gitlab-ci-yml: allow multiple tests in one pipeline
The current Gitlab CI mechanism allows to trigger all tests in a CI
pipeline by pushing a branch named <something>-runtime-tests, or to
trigger a single test in a CI pipeline by pushing a branch name
<something>-tests.<name of test>.

However, there are cases where it is useful to run a suite of tests,
for example to run all tests in tests.init.test_busybox.

This commit makes that possible by extending the current semantic of
<something>-tests.<name of test> to not expect a complete test name,
but instead to accept all tests that starts with the given pattern.

This allows to do:

  git push gitlab HEAD:foobar-tests.init.test_busybox.TestInitSystemBusyboxRo

like it was the case before. But it now also allows to do:

  git push gitlab HEAD:foobar-tests.init.test_busybox

to run all Busybox tests.

Thomas De Schampheleire e1ee121cae docs/manual/using-buildroot-debugger: suggest '-ix' iso '-x' when loading gdbinit
A gdbinit file passed via '-x' will be read _after_ parsing any
object/core file passed on the command-line. In cross-compilation context,
this is particularly a problem when loading a core file, because without the
'sysroot' specified in the gdbinit file, it will give a lot of warnings,
like:

    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libstdc++.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/librt.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libm.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libgcc_s.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libanl.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libdl.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libpthread.so.0" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/usr/lib/libz.so.1" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
    warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libnss_files.so.2" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)

    warning: Could not load shared library symbols for 17 libraries, e.g. [...]
    Use the "info sharedlibrary" command to see the complete listing.
    Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

In contrast, the '-ix' option will load the specified gdbinit file _before_
parsing object/core files. This will remove said warnings.

Yann E. MORIN c7d71b707d package/pkg-kconfig: generate generic help
Currently, as Thomas pointed out [0], the help for kconfig packages is
not consistently used and handled by the different packages.

This commit introduces a generic help text for kconfig packages, that is
based on what the package declares:

  - the list of kconfig editors it supports;

  - whether it is possible to save back the configuration (impossible if
    the package uses an in-tree defconfig file);

  - whether the package actually supports (loading and saving) defconfig
    files, by introducing a new variable a package can set if it does
    not (only busybox is known to be in that case).

That new help helper is only used if the package does not already define
its own help, to be consistent with what we do for other _CMDS.
