This patch makes below changes to powerpc-utils package:
- Update to latest upstream version (v1.3.1)
- Update License (from CPL to GPLv2)
- Update source link (from SF to github)
- Disable librtas by default
- Finally make necessary adjustment to compile the source
(run autogen.sh before ./configure as we don't have configure in new tarball).
RTAS:
This package contains few tools (like nvram, ppc64_cpu, etc) which are not
dependent on RTAS support. Traditionally we always had RTAS support (at least
on IBM Power system). But now a days we do have environments like PowerNV host
where we do not have RTAS support. Instead we use OPAL for runtime service [1].
Hence lets disable RTAS by default. If someone wants to build powerpc-utils
with RTAS they can enable it.

Fixes CVE-2014-4040: A local attacker could obtain sensitive information from
the generated archive such as plain text passwords.
Yes, version 1.2.24 seems to be newer than 1.4, which is equivalent to 1.2.20.
Also, switch from git clone to tarball download , and add a .hash file.
The configure script seems to misdetect stack smashing protection support in
the toolchain. gcc accepts -fstack_protector_all, but the linker complains:
"ld: cannot find -lssp".
