fdisk: fix minor issues with help text

- fix test -f ./exists
  Note that test -f ./exists -a "-u" = "-u" doesn't work and did not work even before r18282, so this is a breakage not caused by me..

- vda perfers not to use the banner

applets/Kbuild: straighten it a bit

as suggested by Renaud Cerrato and Souf, switch over to recursive_action() for some nice shrinkage and so we work even when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is off

add support for firmware loading

hush: fix read builtin to not read ahead past eol and to not use
insane amounts of stack. Testsuite updated.

catv: was abusing xopen, should not die on err, but warn only.

move several applets to more correct ex-project. No code changes.

uudecode: nuke duplicate base64_table[]. saves 65 bytes

top: on user suggestion make percentile calculations configurable. -56 bytes when off. +600 bytes when on
top: reorder columns, so that [P]PIDs are together and VSZ/%MEM are together. Makes more sense

- use bb_msg_full_version instead of a separate string. Saves a minor 3 bytes.

getopt_mk_fifo_nod: heed warning

top: improve global CPU percentage (smaller & faster code)

top: add config option and code for global CPU % display

moved biggest stack buffers to malloc space, or made their size configurable

vi: move some data to malloc'ed space: ~500 less bss, code
size is smaller too (subject to arch differenced I guess)

hush: trivial buglet found by randomconfig testing

whitespace fixes

verror_msg: don't printf(NULL)

test: close bug 1371
test: plug a memory leak

ping: fix wrong sign extension of packet id (bug 1373)

usage.c: remove reference to busybox.h
*: s/include "busybox.h"/include "libbb.h"

xpipe: introduce (saves ~170 bytes)
udhcp/signalpipe.c: use pipe instead of socketpair.

- fix typo in help text and fix punctuation

hush: fix 'echo abc`sleep 5`def' + Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-C bugs. +50 bytes of code.

hush: avoid duplicating HUSH_VERSION

hush: micro-optimization in new variable code

hush: we can't do without variable->value member, saving 25 bytes of code
and some runtime memory. Rename few variables.

hush: rework variable storage and environment handling.
More that -100 bytes of code + memory leak plugged.
Added a testcase for it.

hush: update README with yet another failure case

hush: fix segfaulting syntax error in interactive hush

hush: improve 2 testsuite tests

hush: add 2 tests for correct syntax error reporting

udhcp: socketpair can fail if AF_UNIX is not available (e.g. if module is not loaded).
Error out on that.

hush: fix handling of unmatched ${name  (without closing '}') -
was eating all remaining input, potentially megabytes.
nofork: save/restore die_jmp too
nofork: use -2222 instead of -111 as "special" return valur for zero
(-111 is used by some applets. -2222 won't fit in exitcode and thus safer)

hush: make syntax error messages a bit more useful

hush: prepare testsuite for new, fixed error message format

hush: fix job control with eval /bin/external_prog
hush: fix parsing of unterminated "str with no EOL
hush: improved make_string() (smaller, faster, needs less RAM)
hush: renamed several functions

hush: fix a bit different instance of "No EOL" bug,
add testsuite for that. Expand another testsuite.

fix execute bit on hush-misc/shift.tests

hdparm: make -T -t code smaller (-194 bytes), and output prettier

hush: add 3 CONFIG_xxx, allowing for smaller and less capable hush.
Minimal hush is ~9k now (lash is ~7k).
