[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] erlang: remove non-SMP build option

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Frank, All,

On 2017-12-18 12:04 -0500, Frank Hunleth spake thusly:
> The non-SMP scheduler is deprecated with the Erlang/OTP 20.0 release and
> slated for removal with the next major Erlang release. It also was hard
> to use in practice due to Erlang libraries calling APIs that were only
> available with the SMP scheduler. This change removes the non-SMP build
> option.

Removing an option usually involves adding it to the legacy:
    Config.in.legacy

with some help for users to understand why the option was removed and
how to fix their configurations if needed.

In this case, however, I don;t think this is needed: a user that had
BR2_PACKAGE_ERLANG_SMP=y will still get it, because it is always built
unless requested not to.

Yet, this would warant a comment in the commit log.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
