49ad3cfa67 build: delay check for empty git submodule list
We short circuit the git submodule update when passed an empty module list.
This accidentally causes the 'status' command to write to the status file. The
test needs to be delayed into the individual commands to avoid this premature
writing of the status file.

37b5e74e28 build: don't fail if given a git submodule which does not exist
If going back in time in git history, across a commit that introduces a new
submodule, the 'git-submodule.sh' script will fail, causing rebuild to fail.

This is because config-host.mak contains a GIT_SUBMODULES variable that lists
a submodule that only exists in the later commit. config-host.mak won't get
repopulated until config.status is invoked, but make won't get this far due to
the submodule error.

This change makes 'git-submodule.sh' check whether each module is known to git
and drops any which are not present. A warning message will be printed when any
submodule is dropped in this manner.

f62bbee55d build: allow automatic git submodule updates to be disabled
Some people building QEMU use VPATH builds where the source directory is on a
read-only volume. In such a case 'scripts/git-submodules.sh update' will always
fail and users are required to run it manually themselves on their original
writable source directory.

While this is already supported, it is nice to give users a command line flag
to configure to permanently disable automatic submodule updates, as it means
they won't get hard to diagnose failures from git-submodules.sh at an arbitrary
later date.

This patch thus introduces a flag '--disable-git-update' which will prevent
'make' from ever running 'scripts/git-submodules.sh update'. It will still run
the 'status' command to determine if a submodule update is needed, but when it
does this it'll simply stop and print a message instructing the developer what
todo. eg

$ ./configure  --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-git-update
...snip...

$ make
  GEN     config-host.h
  GEN     trace/generated-tcg-tracers.h

96089f6d0e build: don't create temporary files in source dir
There are cases where users do VPATH builds with the source directory being on
a read-only volume. In such a case they have to manually run the command
'git-submodule.sh ...modules...' ahead of time. When checking for status we
should not then write into the source dir.

cc84d63a42 build: allow setting a custom GIT binary for transparent proxying
Some users can't run a bare 'git' command, due to need for a transparent
proxying solution such as 'tsocks'. This adds an argument to configure to
let users specify such a thing:

  ./configure --with-git="tsocks git"

The submodule script is also updated to give the user a hint about using this
flag, if we fail to checkout modules.

aef45d51d1 build: automatically handle GIT submodule checkout for dtc
Currently if DTC is required by configure and not available in the host
OS install, we exit with an error message telling the user to checkout a
git submodule or install the library.

This introduces automatic handling of the git submodule checkout process
and enables it for dtc. This only runs if building from GIT, so users of
release tarballs still need the system library install. The current state
of the git checkout is stashed in .git-submodule-status, and a helper
program is used to determine if this state matches the desired submodule
state. A dependency against 'Makefile' ensures that the submodule state
is refreshed at the start of the build process
