On Github, a large number of projects name their tag
<some-prefix>-0.3-<some-suffix> (i.e release-3.0, poco-0.1-release,
etc.). In fact majority of the cased adressed in this commit concerns
prefixes.
In most packages, we encode those prefix/suffix in the <pkg>_VERSION
variable.
The problem with this approach is that when used in conjunction with
release-monitoring.org, it doesn't work very well, because
release-monitoring.org has the concept of "version prefix/suffix" and
using that they drop the prefix/suffix to really get the version. For
example on https://release-monitoring.org/project/5418/ the latest
release of "poco" is "1.8.1", not "poco-1.8.1-release".
Therefore, a number of packages in Buildroot have a version that
doesn't match with release-monitoring.org.
Since really the version number of 1.8.1, is makes sense to update our
packages to drop these prefixes/suffixes.
This commit addreses the case of github-fetched packages with
non-conventional prefixes/suffixes.
Note that these changes modify the name of the files stored in DL_DIR,
which means that this will force a re-download of those package source
code for all users, and requires a change to their .hash file.

We want to use SPDX identifier for license strings as much as possible.
SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+ is GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+.
This change is done by using following command.
find . -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -ri '/LICENSE( )?[\+:]?=/s/\<GPLv2\>/GPL-2.0/g'

The dependency on linux is automatically added by the kernel-module
infrastructure, so there is no need to explicit add it in the emlog
package.
Thanks to Arnout for spotting the issue.

[Thomas:
- update to the latest github version, which has a number of
fixes/improvements compared to the latest tag.
- add a patch to fix the build of the kernel module with recent
kernel versions (>= 3.19).
- use $(INSTALL) -D with a full destination path.
- rewrap Config.in help text, lines were too long.]
