While invoking mtools frequently, the unblocking request
caused race issue. Here is an example of syslinux
[snip]
dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=1024 count=144
losetup /dev/loop1 floppy.img
mkdosfs /dev/loop1
syslinux -i /dev/loop1
|plain floppy: device "/proc/6351/fd/3" busy (Resource temporarily unavailable):
|Cannot initialize 'S:'
|Bad target s:/ldlinux.sys
[snip]

The patch tool will apply patches by default with "fuzz", which is where if the
hunk context isn't present but what is there is close enough, it will force the
patch in.

Whilst this is useful when there's just whitespace changes, when applied to
source it is possible for a patch applied with fuzz to produce broken code which
still compiles (see #10450).  This is obviously bad.

We'd like to eventually have do_patch() rejecting any fuzz on these grounds. For
that to be realistic the existing patches with fuzz need to be rebased and
reviewed.

uclibc support was removed a while ago and musl works much better. Start to
remove the various overrides and patches related to uclibc which are no longer
needed.

uclibc support in a layer would still be possible. I have strong reasons to
believe nobody is still using uclibc since patches are missing and I doubt
the metadata even parses anymore.

Removed code that reads /etc/mtools.conf, /etc/default/mtools.conf,
/etc/mtools and /etc/default/mtools to ensure that mtools output
doesn't depend on the global host configs.

It's still possible to use ~/.mtoolsrc config or point MTOOLSRC
environment variable to any configuration file if user want
to configure mtools.

<title>recipes: Move out stale GPLv2 versions to a seperate layer</title>

These are recipes where the upstream has moved to GPLv3 and these old
versions are the last ones under the GPLv2 license.

There are several reasons for making this move. There is a different
quality of service with these recipes in that they don't get security
fixes and upstream no longer care about them, in fact they're actively
hostile against people using old versions. The recipes tend to need a
different kind of maintenance to work with changes in the wider ecosystem
and there needs to be isolation between changes made in the v3 versions
and those in the v2 versions.

There are probably better ways to handle a "non-GPLv3" system but right
now having these in OE-Core makes them look like a first class citizen
when I believe they have potential for a variety of undesireable issues.

Moving them into a separate layer makes their different needs clearer, it
also makes it clear how many of these there are. Some are probably not
needed (e.g. mc), I also wonder whether some are useful (e.g. gmp)
since most things that use them are GPLv3 only already. Someone could
now more clearly see how to streamline the list of recipes here.

I'm proposing we mmove to this separate layer for 2.3 with its future
maintinership and testing to be determined in 2.4 and beyond.

<title>mtools: Patch out a useless sanity check</title>

The sanity check is ensuring that filesystem size is divisible by
sectors-per-track. That seems to be just an optimization for ancient
media, and quite tricky to accomplish as different dosfstools versions
produce filesystems with different sectors-per-track.

Continue processing even if filesystem size is not divisible by
sectors-per-track.

Now that nativesdk-glibc handles GCONV_PATH itself we don't need to do
this here. This unbreaks mtools for the native case without uninative
since the existing patch wasn't nativesdk specific.
