Add option to compile all host tools even if not needed.
This can be useful to prepare a universal precompiled host tools
archive to use in another buildroot and speedup compilation.

Saves a little bit of time when compiling cmake.
Added patches to fix searching liblzma and zlib. The issue is that
because pkgconfig is not used, the system libraries get used.

It shouldn't be needed anymore as we've now `scripts/xxdi.pl`, which

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.)

Some buildbots fail to build elfutils due to m4 being missing. Add m4 as
a dependency for elfutils to fix this.

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.

Switched to CMake for faster compilation and greater parallel

Switched to building with meson as it's faster and does not need a

On macOS, system binaries silently drop the environment variables for injecting
extra shared libraries (used by fakeroot). This is done for security reasons.
Work around this by building bash from source, so that it gets an ad-hoc signature
and does not have these restrictions

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.

ccaaab1c04 says that this is in the
codebase because of libsigc++, which is not in the codebase anymore.
Neither in base nor in packages. It doesn't seem to be needed by
anything else either. GNOME packages have transitioned to using meson,
which does not use m4 files.
Tested local compile with CONFIG_ALL. No problems seen.

ninja is faster at building cmake packages than make, and according to reports
also more reliable at handling parallel builds
This commit includes a patch that adds GNU make jobserver support, in order to
allow more precise control over the number of parallel tasks
Enable parallel build by default for packages using ninja

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.
