Allow the user to define HOST_DIR in the config menu.
This way when building an internal toolchain a separate (maybe shared)
output directory may be defined and the toolchain can be used by
multiple users and/or projects.

Kconfig nowadays uses the mainmenu as the title, so add the version info
here, similar to how it is done in the Linux kernel.

We don't need Config.in and Makefile in target/device: defconfig files
are sufficient to describe the specificities of a board (architecture,
compilation flags, bootloader and kernel details, etc.).
However, a placeholder such as target/device will be kept in order to
host things such as kernel configuration files or various
board-specific patches.

Having Config.in.mirrors (which also to select various download sites)
inside target/device sounds strange. This commit moves the contents of
Config.in.mirrors directly into the main Config.in file.

* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target).
* ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will
automatically build ccache for the host before building anything,
and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and
target compilations.
* bump ccache to 3.1.3

The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

Wget's builtin default of 20 retries before the backup site is used is

This re-instates writing the version string in .config headers, and no
longer provides it as a kconfig symbol in .config (it is now a variable
in the Makefile, and in the environment).

It's not really necessary to differenciate the commands for checking out
or updating a repository. Only the path to the binary and eventual
top-level flags are useful to configure.

This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

With multicores everywhere, 2 is probably a bit low - But atleast it's
better than the current default.
This extra parallelism also ensures we get to test the make dependencies
a bit more.
