As discussed in the today's (2020-12-10) meeting, add a new option to
menuconfig to group the selection of all experimental features to be
selected by default.
Developers are recommended to make use of this new symbol to guard
new features.
Other developers and community members should feel encouraged to
build with this flag enabled to help testing and provide feedback.

This is a neat project, but offers no benefit to OpenWrt. The initial
reason for it was to be a replacement for libstdcpp as it is smaller
and lacks compatibility for C++98. Unfortunately, compiling several
packages with it results in larger ipk sizes.
While not a member of the packages feed, this will be moved to
packages-abandoned to keep it somewhere.

Drop our local sstrip copy and use the current ELFKickers upstream
version.
Patch the original makefile in order to avoid building elftoc, since it
fails with musl's elf.h. This is fine, since we only need sstrip anyway.
Finally, add the possibility to pass additional arguments to sstrip and
pass -z (remove trailing zeros) by default, which matches the behaviour
of the previous version.

Building the 'modular' variant requires 'semodule_package' from
'selinux-python' to be installed on the buildhost.
Apart from that, this change also broke the monolithic refpolicy
'targeted' build.

This adds a variant of refpolicy that builds the modular form of the
policy. While this requires more memory on the target device, along with
some tricks to deal with OpenWrt's volatile /var directory, it is useful
for experiementing with SELinux policy.

The pistachio target uses a MIPS CPU with FPU and OpenWrt uses a
toolchain with hard FPU support. MIPS FPU support needs the FPU
emulation code in the kernel.

The LSM (Linux security mechanism) list is the successor of the now
legacy *major LSM*. Instead of defining a single security mechanism the
LSM symbol is a comma separated list of mechanisms to load.
Until recently OpenWrt would only support DAC (Unix discretionary access
controls) which don't require an additional entry in the LSM list. With
the newly introduced SELinux support the LSM needs to be extended else
only a manual modified Kernel cmdline (`security=selinux`) would
activate SELinux.
As the default OpenWrt Kernel config sets DAC as default security
mechanism, SELinux is stripped from the LSM list, even if
`KERNEL_DEFAULT_SECURITY_SELINUX` is activated. To allow SELinux without
a modified cmdline this commit sets a specific LSM list if
`KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX` is enabled.
The upstream Kconfig adds even more mechanisms
(smack,selinux,tomoyo,apparmor), but until they're ported to OpenWrt,
these can be ignored.
To compile SELinux Kernel support but disable it from loading, the
already present options `KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE` or
`KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM` (with custom cmdline `selinux=0`)
can be used. Further it's possible to edit `/etc/selinux/config`.

This target is still on kernel 4.14, and recent attempts to move it to
kernel 5.4 have not led to success. The device tester reported that it
wouldn't boot with the following messages:
From sysupgrade:
Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup....
loading kernel from nand... OK
setting up elf image... OK
jumping to kernel code
At this point the system hangs.
From CompactFlash:
Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup....
Booting CF
Loading kernel... done
setting up elf image... kernel out of range kernel loading failed
The tester reported that the same was observed with current master
(kernel 4.14) as well. This looks like some kernel size restriction.
Since this target is quite old and only supports one device, and since
nobody else seemed interested in working on this for quite some time,
I decided to not put further work into analyzing the problem and drop
this together with the other 4.14-only targets.

Remapping the local build path in debug information makes debugging
using ./scripts/remote-gdb harder, because files no longer refer to the full
path on the build host.
For local builds, debug information does not need to be reproducible,
since it will be stripped out of packages anyway.
For buildbot builds, it makes sense to keep debug information reproducible,
since the full path is not needed (nor desired) anywhere.

Enabling KERNEL_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE exposes 2 missing symbols:
* CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS
* TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS
* TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE
The first one was added in 5.4, and is marked experimental there so just
disable it in the generic config.
For the latter two, we should not force the user to use either of them,
so add them as build-configurable kernel options.

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.

Currently the user space stack cookies work well also when the kernel
stack cookies are not activated. This is handled completely in user
space and does not need kernel support.
This dependency was probably needed some years ago when the libc did not
support stack cookies.

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
