[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 5/5] utils/genrandconfig: improve logging

[Thomas Petazzoni via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>]

Right now, genrandconfig just spits out the random messages from the
different make invocations, which isn't terribly useful. Instead,
let's redirect the output of make invocations to oblivion, and add
some more high level logging.

As part of this logging, we're interested to see how many iterations
were needed to find a valid configuration, so changed the loop logic
to count from 0 to 100 instead of from 100 to 0 so that we can easily
show the iteration number.
