Update to buildroot 2016.05

 - package/dropbear: Add BR2_PACKAGE_DROPBEAR_SERVER option
 - host-fakeroot: re-run autotools to fix build on ppc64le host
 - linux-firmware: Update bnx2x firmware version

Configuration changes:

 - BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_2_26_X selects the most modern version
 - BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION replaces LATEST_VERSION as upstream
   tracks a newer version than we are using
 - BR2_PACKAGE_SKIBOOT is default y if (BR2_OPENPOWER_PLATFORM && BR2_powerpc_power8)
   BR2_PACKAGE_POWERPC_UTILS is selected by petitboot
 - The BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LIBSTDCPP symbol was never upstreamed.
   It's implemented by BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP in upstream, and we don't
   have it enabled.

OpenPower Firmware Build Environment

The OpenPower firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

Building an image

git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git
cd op-build
. op-build-env
op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build

This will build an image for a Palmetto system. There exists default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/ such as Habanero and Firestone.
