Several devices provide U-Boot versions with only gzip compressed kernel
support (e.g. Realtek switches). This compression method produces larger
images than lzma. To save space on flash and avoid going the hard way with
lzma-loader we can make use of enhanced gzip tool based on libdeflate
compression library from https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate. It
keeps 100% deflate/gzip compatibility while improving compression ratio.
The image can be unpacked by the default inflate routines inside U-Boot.

There's no purpose to squish multiple tools into a single line (and
spread those out over multiple lines). It might look 'nice' in certain
conditions, but it's annoying to maintain.
For example, but not limited to:
* adding/removing tools, causes hard to read diffs
* Duplicates are harder to spot
* Sorting can not be (easily?) automated
With this proposed change, the above annoyances go away. Inserting a new
tool can be done with a single line-change-diff, sorting can be done by
any editor (in vi, select, :sort for example) and dupes are much easier
to spot.

Get rid of drivers that are either limited to 802.11b/g or don't even support
cfg80211/mac80211. Most of these are either limited to boards that we don't even
support anymore because of firmware size, or were only used for custom hacks by
a really small number of users in the past.
Let's get rid of those to reduce the maintenance effort and the number of useless
packages

Add the 7zr command line tool, which is a version of the 7z application
that only supports 7z archives.
7z is one of the two compression formats supported in H3C firmware
images (the alternative would be ARJ).
(Alternatively, the 7zr command line tool could also be built from a
current version of the public-domain LZMA SDK. That would require
repackaging the source package, as it is only provided in 7z format.)

dwarves is a set of tools that use the debugging information inserted in
ELF binaries by compilers such as GCC. Utilities in the dwarves suite
include pahole, which can be used to find alignment holes in structs and
classes, and also extracts other information such as CPU cacheline
alignment, helping pack those structures to achieve more cache hits.
These tools are also used to encode and read the BTF type information
format used with the bpf syscall, making this a Linux build dependency
when using kernel BTF information.

The upcoming dwarves host package requires elfutils. As dependencies for
tools must exist in tools, we need to move elfutils host build there.
As there is at least one package that depends on this, and there is no
proper way to create such dependency in the build system, build it
unconditionally when not building on macOS.

meson is a next generation build system designed to have good defaults,
simpler build files, and fast compilation.
It is built upon python and uses ninja for compilation. The latter
provides fast by default (parallel) and problem free compilation.
There are over 40 packages already successfully using meson. The next
commit will convert pkgconf to use meson compilation.

which does not use m4 files.

This old ELF library dating to 2009 used to be necessary on MacOS but
is not required for building the kernel or tools since [1]. On Linux
systems, libelf is already an OpenWRT build-system prerequisite [2].
Presence of the older library can mask or conflict with the system libelf
and lead to build errors, as seen compiling Linux kernels since v5.8 or
host tools such as dwarves (e.g. pahole).
Remove the unnecessary tools/libelf library and avoid the related issues.
