Now that the package infrastructure doesn't attempt to download a package
that has an empty version string, there's no need to define the VERSION and
SOURCE variables in the virtual package infrastructure.

This feature consists in automatically deducing dependencies of a host
package from the dependencies of the target variant.
However, it causes some issues, and many host packages need different
dependencies than their target variants.
Now that host dependencies are explicitly set for all packages, we can
remove it.

Create a proper package for the skeleton.
The main Makefile is modified to remove the skeleton support.
The 'dirs' target, will create the $(TARGET_DIR).
The file 'output/target/.root' doesn't exists anymore, as there's no
Make rule to statisfy.
The infrastructure are modified to filter host-skeleton.
It's needed becauses the host-dependencies are derived from the
dependencies of the target package where 'host-' is preprended to the
depedency name.
In the pkg-generic we add skeleton as a dependency to every package.
The whole system/system.mk is now removed at the profit of
package/skeleton/skeleton.mk
[Thomas:
- rebase on top of master and fix some minor conflicts
- remove the 'select BR2_PACKAGE_SKELETON' in
BR2_ROOTFS_SKELETON_DEFAULT and BR2_ROOTFS_SKELETON_CUSTOM, since
anyway the skeleton package is always enabled.
- fixup a few mistakes in the getty handling due to misnamed
variables.]

The inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.
This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.
In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).
Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
$(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
originally it would cause very odd results.
- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
VAR = value (value)
while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
VAR = value (actual expression)
as is intended.
This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.
The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.
