[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/3] add new package proj

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

I've applied your patch, after doing a number of changes. First of all,
I've renamed it to "proj: new package", which is the convention when
adding new package. Then, the DEVELOPERS change has been squashed in
the patch adding the package.

Lines too long and trailing whitespace here, I've fixed this up.

A md5 hash alone is not sufficient, so I've added a sha256 hash. While
I was at it, I've added a hash for the license file as well.

I've added PROJ_LICENSE_FILES

Last but not least, I've switched to using the provided autotools build
system, because it correctly handled building a static library. Indeed,
your package using CMake was failing to build in static-only
configurations.

Applied with those fixes. Thanks!
