[ANNOUNCE] new CROSS Flag, 341 packages flagged

Hi,

in the past we just "marked" packages cross compiling by selecting them
to cross build in stage 1.

However when they became too many of them we stopped doing so and
instead transformed the package selection in the target, such as the
example embedded one and our product builds on-the-fly as-needed.

However this is of course no real solution and we lost overview about
how many hundred of our thousand packages actually cross build.

We now introduced a CROSS flag, with the support glue in scripts/config.in
to conditionally add the stage 1 build selection to those CROSS flagged
packages when a cross build is selected.

Due to the additional marks the active package count of the generic
target with cross build enabled increased from:

  97 active packages

to

 324 active packages

Please mark packages that you know cross build as it.

I'll also update our package matrix renderer to output an additional
note for cross compiling packages at:

Yours,
