Jörg Krause a2825382a2 package/protobuf: uses fork(), not available on no-MMU platforms
This was not noticed until now because:

 1/ The older Blackfin toolchain doesn't have libatomic, so it didn't
    provide the atomic operations that protobuf needs, so protobuf was
    never built.

 2/ The ARM Cortex-M toolchain is static-only, and protobuf requires
    dynamic library support.

So it's only with the new Blackfin toolchain, which is based on gcc
6.x (and therefore provides libatomic) and is FDPIC-based (and therefore
has dynamic library support) that this problem appeared.

Since protobuf already has a BR2_PACKAGE_PROTOBUF_ARCH_SUPPORTS option,
we use it to add the BR2_USE_MMU dependency (which is architecture
related), which avoids the need to propagate the dependency.

Fixes:

[Thomas:
 - move the BR2_USE_MMU dependency under
   BR2_PACKAGE_PROTOBUF_ARCH_SUPPORTS and remove the propagation to
   reverse dependencies of protobuf, since they already depend on
   BR2_PACKAGE_PROTOBUF_ARCH_SUPPORTS.
 - improve commit log.]

# See src/google/protobuf/stubs/platform_macros.h for supported archs.

# On PowerPC, the __atomic_*() built-ins for 1-byte, 2-byte and 4-byte
# types are available built-in. However, the __atomic_*() built-ins for
# 8-byte types is implemented via libatomic, so only available since gcc
# 4.8.
#
# In Buildroot, to simplify things, we've decided to simply require gcc
# 4.8 as soon as the architectures has at least one __atomic_*() built-in
# variant that requires libatomic.
#
# Since protobuf most likely only uses the 1, 2 and 4-byte variants, it
# *could* technically build with gcc 4.7. This is probably not a big deal,
# and we can live with requiring gcc 4.8 on PowerPC to build protobuf.
#
# The SPARC64 build fails due to a missing definition of Atomic64. This
# has been fixed on the master branch but the build still breaks due to
# undefined references to internal NoBarrier_Atomic*() functions.
#
# host-protobuf only builds on certain architectures
