scripts/functions: test for decompressors before use
./configure does check for the presence of gz and bzip2, so we can
safely use them in the build scripts.
On the other hand, more recent formats (eg. XZ) are not yet widely
available, and we do not want, and can't, force the user to install
them as a pre-requisite.
So, build up a list of allowed tarball formats based on the available
decompressors. For no, this is a static list, but the upcoming XZ
support will conditionnaly add to this list.

configure: add test for xz-utils
Some upstream now release tarballs compressed with xz, along with the
more traditional bzip2 and/or gzip tarballs. xz (and its predecessor
lzma) achieves better compression, so is a good candidate to shorten
the time it takes to download the source tarballs.
Enable downloading xz-cmopressed tarballs if the user has xz-utils.

configure: do not require lzma
Nothing uses lzma now, so we can get rid of it.

scripts/functions: commonalise tar options in CT_EXtract
This shortens command lines, so it's good! :-)

kernel/linux: simplify custom tarball handling
Simplify the way the custom tarball is handled:
- fake version="custom"
- at download, simply link the custom tarball to:
"linux-custom.${custom_extension}"
- at extract, the above allows to simply extract "linux-${LINUX_VERSION}"
where LINUX_VERISON is set to the fake version="custom"
Not that much convoluted, in fact... :-/

kernel/linux: deprecate copying headers from pre-instaleld headers
No-one ever inquired about this feature. Due to the way it works, it is
rather unlikely that every user used a properly-formatted tarball, or a
properly structured directory as imput.
Beside, it is not really easy to maintain: I just spent one full day
remembering how it worked... Sigh... :-(
Just deprecate this, until next release, or until someone complains.

samples: do not use the mirror by default
As the mirror is always tried first, and the default is my server,
it means every download will first hit my server. As I do not have
much mirrored there, it means a lot of time is lost.
Disable use of the mirror for all samples, except the one that does
need it for the uClibc snapshot.

libc/uClibc: force use of ctor/dtor
Although ctor/dtor do not seem strictly required, missing them proves
rather inconvenient, as ld can't link binaries.

scripts/functions: remove messages about failed downloads
When downloading via svn/cvs/... an attempt to retrieve from the
mirror is made. If the mirror does not have the required tarball,
an error message is printed. This is misleading, as the download
may later succeed via svn/cvs/...
Remove the messages about failed downloads altogether.
At the same time, use "if ... then ... fi" instead of "... && ..."
