Makefile: Revert sunxi-pio change from 209633ab

The previous commit had introduced a new build rule that made
sunxi-pio always (cross-)compile as part of TARGET_TOOLS. This
originated from a misunderstanding, and is wrong - sunxi-pio
should be part of TOOLS instead.

sunxi-pio is a "dual mode" utility. When run natively on a sunxi
SoC, it can mmap() and manipulate the PIO registers directly. But
it also supports file-based operation, to be used in conjunction
with sunxi-fel (after uploading fel-pio.bin thunk code). This
should work over USB from non-sunxi hosts, and thus puts sunxi-pio
in the TOOLS category. See the fel-gpio shell script for details.

Build system improvements

For now, this is for informational purposes (program version
output), but it might also serve as an anchor point for a
"bugfix" release after some changes made to the build system.

For Linux build testing, we want all targets compiled. To do so
without a cross-toolchain, simply use the host compiler for the
target tools. This can be achieved by setting CROSS_COMPILE to
an empty string.

OSX can't handle this: It neither supports "-static", nor would
it successfully compile meminfo.c. Thus we keep the default
"make", which should only build the 'tools' target.

On Linux we'll also test the install-* targets by requesting
installation to /tmp/sunxi-tools as a post-build step.

This appends sunxi-meminfo to the TARGET_TOOLS, and adds a new rule
to fix the compilation of sunxi-pio (by making it *cross-compile*
for the target).

Additionally adds a new build target "make install-misc".

For more details, see github issues #69 and #70.

Minor compilation fixes

(Changing to a proper struct initializer avoids a possible
compiler warning.)
Signed-off-by: Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de>

Fixing the (currently erroneous) compilation of sunxi-pio will
cause "make target-tools" to require a suitable cross-compiler
installed. Otherwise "make target-tools" fails to build.
As that is part of our default target ("make all"), we might
possibly introduce a build breakage on quite a few systems.

Avoid this situation by redefining "make tools" as the default,
and change "make install" to "make install-tools", i.e. limit
the standard targets to those builds that only rely on the host
toolchain. From now, if you actually want to include the cross-
compiling steps, use "make all" or "make install-all" instead.

Also: Add the winsock2 library to LIBS for Windows. When not
linking against it, the usage of WS2 conversion functions from
portable_endian.h would cause unresolved symbols.
Signed-off-by: Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de>

For Windows portable_endian.h relies on and includes <winsock2.h>.
Thus it needs to be requested first, otherwise other includes might
pull in <windows.h> and cause a preprocessor warning / compilation
failure (observed with MinGW).

By defining NO_MMAP it's now possible to avoid the usage of
mmap() and munmap(). This benefits platforms that don't support
these functions, e.g. Windows.

fel: Improve file_upload() when no progress callback is passed

This commit renames the function pointer of type progress_cb_t
for file_upload(). That might help to avoid potential confusion
with other routines that use a boolean "progress" parameter to
indicate whether progress information is desired (at all).
Signed-off-by: Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de>

Until now, the function would always pass `true` as the "progress"
parameter to aw_write_buffer(). This has the potential drawback
of limiting the maximum USB transfer size.

By selectively passing `false` instead (with no progress function
active), we hint that aw_write_buffer() and subsequent routines
don't have to care about callbacks; so that usb_bulk_send() is
free to select a transfer size of AW_USB_MAX_BULK_SEND.

This way we don't have to introduce new options for retrieving

by default (e.g. because they would process stdin), you may pass

* fel: Add the ability to pass uEnv-style data via FEL

The corresponding format is recognized by having the environment
data (= text) start with a special "#=uEnv" marker. Upon transfer
of such a file, sunxi-fel will detect this condition, and set a
field in the SPL header accordingly - which in turn also requests
U-Boot to auto-import it (i.e. merge with the default environment).

(Note that this requires a U-Boot version that knows about the
new meaning of this field, namely v2016.09 or later. Older U-Boot
versions will fail to import the uEnv-style data.)

The Makefile will now use a script (autoversion.sh) to update
version.h, which in turn defines a VERSION string and gets
included from common.h.

The idea is that version.h normally receives a git-describe
based identifier that represents the current checkout. In
cases where git might not be available, e.g. for builds from
a tarball, the script will instead fall back to a predefined
version (that should reflect the most recent release tag).
