8bc72ea7be treewide: strip useless default n Kconfig lines
Kconfig docs say:
> The default value deliberately defaults to 'n' in order to avoid
> bloating the build.

Apply this rule everywhere, to avoid more cloning of bad examples

scripts/download.pl: make the download tool configurable
Introduce a new option in the "Advanced configuration options" to
configure a custom download tool.

By declaring a string in "Use custom download tool" an user can force
what command to use to download package. With the string empty the
default tool used is curl, with wget as a fallback if not available.

download.pl supports 3 tools officially aria2c, curl and wget.
If one of the tool is used in this config, download.pl will use the
default args to make use of them.

If the provided string is different than aria2c, curl or wget, the command
is used as is and the download url will be appended at the end of such command.

While at it also tweak the tool selection logic and chose the tool only
once when the script is called and move aria2c specific variables in the
relevant section.

abc5b28db1 bcm53xx: use -falign-functions=32 for kernel compilation
Northstar SoCs have pretty small CPU caches and their performance is
heavily affected by cache hits & misses. It means that all kind of
random code changes can affect performance as they often reorganize
(change alignment & possibly reorder) kernel symbols.

It was discussed in ARM / net mailinglists:
1. ARM router NAT performance affected by random/unrelated commits [1] [2]
2. Optimizing kernel compilation / alignments for network performance [3] [4]

It seems that -falign-functions can be used as a partial workaround. It
doesn't solve all cases (e.g. documented watchdog one [5]) but it surely
helps with many of them.

A complete long term solution may be PGO (profile-guided optimization)
but it isn't available at this point.

1d5260cf72 build: add option to mark devices as BROKEN
By specifying "BROKEN := 1" or "BROKEN := y" for a device, it will be
hidden (and deselected) by default. By that, it provides a stronger
option to "disable" a device beyond just using DEFAULT := n.

To make these devices visible, just enable the BROKEN option in
developer settings as already implemented for targets and packages.

2ca084ccaa build: improve ccache support
Set CCACHE_DIR to $(TOPDIR)/.ccache and CCACHE_BASEDIR to $(TOPDIR).
This allows to do clean and dirclean. Cache hit rate for test build
after dirclean is ~65%.
If CCACHE is enabled stats are printed out at the end of building process.
CCACHE_DIR config variable allows to override default, which could be useful
when sharing cache with many builds.
cacheclean make target allows to clean the cache.

Changes from v1:
- remove ccache directory using CCACHE_DIR variable
- remove ccache leftovers from sdk and toolchain make files
- introduce CONFIG_CCACHE_DIR variable
- introduce cacheclean make target

be9e991b88 build: don't add -fno-plt for ARC
Curent ARC toolchain fails to build libstdc++ if -fno-plt is used.
Lots of following error messages appear:
------------------->8------------------
...
staging_dir/toolchain-arc_arc700_gcc-arc-2015.06_uClibc-1.0.9/arc-openwrt-linux-uclibc/bin/ld:
BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.23.2 assertion fail elf32-arc.c:2786
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
------------------->8------------------

In newer binutils (still in development) for ARC rewritten from
scratch this seem to not happen, so once new binutils for ARC hit
the street this patch might be reverted.

45e3540a3f config: Remove KERNEL_GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option
The GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option adds the --reference argument to the
git clone kernel command line, if KERNEL_GIT_CLONE_URI is set.

This option is intended to speed-up the repo creation by using local
objets rather than downloading it. However, a local repo can be cloned
much faster by setting GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY directly to the local tree.

In that case, git clone will bypass the normal "git aware" transport
mechanism and clone the repository by copying and hardlinking objects
rather than downloading it, resulting in a significant speed increase.

That makes the GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option pretty useless so we'll just
remove it and recommand the usage of KERNEL_GIT_CLONE_URI directly.
