[Buildroot] First Step in allowing Static / shared library choice

[Daniel Laird <danieljlaird@hotmail.com>]

Following on from my question of 'how do we deal with shared and static
builds"
I enclose the following patch.
This is for the top level Config.in
It will appear under Build options
this means that the variables BR2_STATIC_LIBS and BR2_SHARED_LIBS are
available.

Once this patch is in we can start to modify packages to use this
information. (no packages modified yet)

I hope this can get into the mainline without to much difficulty

Cheers
Dan
