[Buildroot] [git commit] package/libgpiod2: new package

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=57391fad2e619395340b81957ddceab1b1df2e20
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Due to a significant api change as well as more recent kernel version
requirements, we introduce a separate package for version 2.0 and higher.
The new package is incompatible to libgpiod 1.x. This allows for iteratively
updating all dependent packages without breaking anything as a result.

For now we will have libgpiod2 depend on !libgpiod. However, in the
future, it might be preferable to have it the other way around,
such that packages, which select libgpiod2 don't have to also add the
the !libgpiod dependency.

Python bindings fail to build, so they are unconditionally disabled.
setup.py when called from Makefile tries to do native compilation
instead of cross-compilation, which fails at link time with
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible ../../lib/.libs//libgpiod.so when searching for -lgpiod

Note that this package does not correspond to the debian libgpiod2 package,
which currently uses only version 1.6.3
