Richard Purdie b090fde5c1 gettext: Switch to disabling nls and reducing -native build dependencies to a set of pre built m4 macros

When analysing our build performance, its apparent that binutils-cross
takes an age to get built. This is due to its dependencies on
flex-native and bison-native which in turn depend on gettext-native.

gettext-native is problematic as it has a significant dependency chain
of its own and takes an age to build. What is worse is that we never
care about the native language support in -native and -cross packages
since we always force the C locale.

This patch therefore disables nls for all -native packages (its already
disabled for -cross) and adds a new gettext-minimal-native package which
contains the m4 macros to keep autoconf/automake happy.

This means we gain a significant build time speedup by the removal of
gettext-native from most dependency chains (only being part of gettext
for the target now).

For now the LICENCE field says GPLv3, the macros are actually under a
FSF MIT like licence so we need to update this part of the patch in due
course.

README

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
