Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

This is required because some packages do not recommend building with
time_t when it is 32 bit (Y2038 problem).

This patch represents the first batch of various patches we do not use
anymore, hence there is no sense in keeping them, polluting ~/src/patches/.
Two coreutils patches have been moved into the already existing
coreutils folder, while one libloc patch has been a duplicate to that
one already existing in ~/src/patches/libloc/.
Cleaning up this dump remains a non-exhaustive attempt, though. There
are several other patches I could not locate in LFS files in the first
place, which means that the amount of files we can drop from this
directory is likely to be greater than this patch currently covers.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)

This will allow us to run multiple builds on the same
system at the same time (or at least have them on disk).

Coreutils 8.25 needs the automake 1.15
I have send this patch earlier.
Plaese merge automake before coreutils 8.25
