tools/cnvwindeps.c:  Need to build this tool even on non-Cygwin platforms (either that or rethink the dependencies).

mkdeps.sh and mkdeps.bat have been deleted.  All configurations must now use the compiler mkeps program

Some networking logic was used helpers from apps/netutils.  Not good.  Quick fix is to duplicate logic

tools/cnvwindeps.c: Add a tool that will convert dependencies created by a Windows native toolchain for use the Cygwin make

debug macros for AVR (take #2): Introduce arch-specific debug macro hooks

Make it possible for arch code to provide hook macros for NuttX dbg
that will lead to arch-specific syslog() and lowsyslog() variants.

This may be specific for Atmel AVR8 toolchain compiler.
The problem is that despite of being 8-bit architecture
avr-gcc supports uint64_t, but the following code

uint64_t value = 10000 * 1000;

produces a wrong negative value in the final code (tested
both with and without optimization).

The work-around is simple:

uint64_t value = 10000 * 1000L;

The code is a reduced part from sched/signal/sig_timedwait.c where
waitticks64 is calculated using NSEC_PER_TICK. This one is defined
as USEC_PER_TICK * NSEC_PER_USEC which leads to the example above.

Atmel toolchain AVR compiler provides a transparent in-flash object support using __flash and __memx symbols. The former indicates to compiler that this is a flash-based object.  The later used with pointer indicates that the referenced object may reside either in flash or in RAM. The compiler automatically makes 32-bit pointer with flag indicating whether referenced object is in flash or RAM and generates code to access either in run-time. Thus, any function that accepts __memx object can transparently work with RAM and flash objects.

For platforms with a Harvard architecture and a very small RAM like AVR this allows to move all constant strings used in trace messages to flash in the instruction address space, releasing resources for other things.

This change introduces IOBJ and IPTR type qualifiers.  The 'I' indicates that the object may like in instruction space on a Harvard architecture machine.

For platforms that do not have __flash and __memx or similar symbols IOBJ and IPTR are empty, making the types equivalent to, for example, 'const char' and 'const char*'.  For Atmel compiler these will become 'const __flash char' and 'const __memx char*'.  All printf() functions and syslog() functions are changed so that the qualifier is used with the format parameter.

The delay parameter has 'int' type while explicit int32_t is used in sigtimedwait() (sig_timedwait.c) This can lead to wrong argument for systems that have default int size different than int32 (namely AVR).
