[Buildroot] [PATCH 3 of 5 v2] flex: change config text of 'target binary' option

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

The buildroot manual contains a list of deprecated items, with their config
title text, and the location in the config menu. If the config text does not
mention a package name, this can be confusing.

For example, the symbol BR2_PACKAGE_FLEX_BINARY has as text:
'Install tool in the target', which outside of the flex context makes no
sense at all.

To make sure the deprecated packages list in the manual is understandable,
rename the (deprecated) flex 'target binary' config option.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4 of 5 v2] lzma: remove deprecated target package

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

The on-target lzma package has been deprecated for a long time, so remove
it. This does not remove the support for generating lzma-compressed rootfs
images.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 5 of 5 v2] Config.in.legacy: fix misc. problems with libnfc-llcp removal

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

The Config.in.legacy entry associated with the replacement of libnfc-llcp
was broken in multiple ways:

- it was not correctly added within the section for 2014.02 deprecation
  (incidentally fixed with the patch removing target lzma)
- it still had select/depend statement from the original symbol, which
  should not be added in Config.in.legacy.
- it did not select the replacement symbol as to make the transition for
  users more convenient.
- indentation of the help text was not tab+2spaces.
