While the kernel is built for the target, the build may need various host
libraries depending on config (and kernel version), so use HOST_MAKE_ENV
instead of TARGET_MAKE_ENV.
In particular, this ensures that our host-pkgconf will look for host
libraries and not target ones.
Fixes building scripts/dtc for Buildroot configurations enabling libyaml and
host-pkgconf for kernels after commit 067c650c45 (dtc: Use pkg-config to
locate libyaml).
With this enabled, we can drop the PKG_CONFIG_* variables for the
_NEEDS_HOST_LIBELF conditional, as those are included in HOST_MAKE_ENV.

When 'make' includes a new Makefile, it appends its path to the MAKEFILE_LIST
variable. From that variable, we construct a few set of derivative
variables:
pkgdir = $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
pkgname = $(lastword $(subst /, ,$(pkgdir)))
Essentially, pkgdir is the full directory where the package is located
(either relative to Buildroot's top directory for in-tree packages, or
absolute for packages in br2-external trees), while pkgname is the last
component of that directory.
pkgdir is in turn used to seed FOO_PKGDIR.
This all happens when we eventually call the package-generic infra,
later down in the file.
When they are parsed, the Makefiles for each linux-extensions are
appended to MAKEFILE_LIST, after the linux.mk one. But since they are
located in the same directory as the main linux.mk, the last component
of MAKEFILE_LIST, which is no longer the main linux.mk, will still yield
the correct values for the linux package.
This is a tough assumption we made there and then.
When we added the support for br2-external linux extensions, we where
very cautious to explicitly scan them from a directory named 'linux', so
that this would yield the correct package name.
And that worked well so far, until someone needed to build an older
kernel, for which our conditional patch is needed, and which just
failed:
/bin/bash: [...]/buildroot-external-linux-test/linux//0001-timeconst.pl-Eliminate-Perl-warning.patch.conditional: No such file or directory
When we scan linux extensions from a br2-external tree, the last
component of MAKEFILE_LIST is no longer in the same directory as the
main linux.mk, and thus the assumption above falls to pieces...
Again, when we added support for linux extensions from br2-external,
although we cared about the package name (pkgname), we completely missed
out on the package directory, and the LINUX_PKGDIR variable.
We do not have a very clean way out of this mess, but we have a nice
dirty trick: Scan the linux extensions from a br2-external tree before we
scan the in-tree ones. That way, the last component of MAKEFILE_LIST is
back to one that is in the same directory as the main linux.mk, and
we're back on tracks.
This is still very fragile, though, but short of a complete overhaul on
how packages are parsed and evaluated, this is the best we can come in
short order.

This version works with linux kernel 5.0 and newer. It requires
CONFIG_NF_NAT enabled in the kernel configuration, otherwise it fails

Currently the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT option is only
available to be selected by another config option. This option controls
if the Linux build system should build the DTB itself, or if buildroot
explicitly calls the Linux Makefile like "make something.dtb".
My use case: I want to build an OpenRISC image with a custom device tree
file. OpenRISC does not support appended DTBs, and I'm not using a
bootloader, but link everything into a single kernel (vmlinux) image.
The kernel option CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB allows me to specify a dtb
file, which is typically located in the kernel source tree in
arch/openrisc/boot/dts/NAME.dts.
Since my dts file is not part of the upstream kernel, I have two
options: either patch the kernel to include the DTS file, and then
specify it using the CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB option.
Or use buildroot's BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_DTS_PATH config option to
copy any DTS file to the kernel source tree, and then specify this file
with CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB as before.
However, the second option also requries the buildroot option
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT to be set, otherwise I end up with a
"make -C kerneldir NAME.dts" call, which doesn't work (no such target
exists).
Currently the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT option exists, but it's
not visible/available. Simply making it available solves the problem for
me nicely.

it requires CONFIG_NET to be enabled in the kernel such that the mdev

Sometimes, it is required to call imagemagick from a post-build script
or the likes, so we have to allow the user to enable the host variant
for imagemagick.
Update the linux package to select the host variant now.
