[Buildroot] [PATCH] linknx: deprecate the package

[Thomas Petazzoni]

The upstream for this package is dead: the last release is from 2013,
the project is still using a CVS repository on SourceForge, and the
build breaks with gcc 6.x. Let's deprecate this package.

You were so sad to see this package being deprecated that I decided to
have a closer look. In the end:

 1/ The issue was easy enough.

 2/ I found some activity upstream on Github at
    https://github.com/linknx/linknx, so I was even able to submit the
    fix upstream.

So issue fixed as of
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=780a88bc97294575c23c4f17513009d84c1bb4d2.

Thanks!

Thomas
