Remove make preinstall
A speciality of the RTEMS build system was the make preinstall step. It copied header files from arbitrary locations into the build tree. The header files were included via the -Bsome/build/tree/path GCC command line option. This has at least seven problems: * The make preinstall step itself needs time and disk space. * Errors in header files show up in the build tree copy. This makes it hard for editors to open the right file to fix the error. * There is no clear relationship between source and build tree header files. This makes an audit of the build process difficult. * The visibility of all header files in the build tree makes it difficult to enforce API barriers. For example it is discouraged to use BSP-specifics in the cpukit. * An introduction of a new build system is difficult. * Include paths specified by the -B option are system headers. This may suppress warnings. * The parallel build had sporadic failures on some hosts. This patch removes the make preinstall step. All installed header files are moved to dedicated include directories in the source tree. Let @RTEMS_CPU@ be the target architecture, e.g. arm, powerpc, sparc, etc. Let @RTEMS_BSP_FAMILIY@ be a BSP family base directory, e.g. erc32, imx, qoriq, etc. The new cpukit include directories are: * cpukit/include * cpukit/score/cpu/@RTEMS_CPU@/include * cpukit/libnetworking The new BSP include directories are: * bsps/include * bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/include * bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/@RTEMS_BSP_FAMILIY@/include There are build tree include directories for generated files. The include directory order favours the most general header file, e.g. it is not possible to override general header files via the include path order. The "bootstrap -p" option was removed. The new "bootstrap -H" option should be used to regenerate the "headers.am" files. Update #3254.

+/**
+ * @file
+ *
+ * @ingroup rtems_rtl
+ *
+ * @brief RTEMS Run-Time Linker Object File cache buffers a section of the
+ * object file in a buffer to localise read performance.
+ *
+ * This is a simple object file cache that holds a buffer of data from the
+ * offset in the file the read is requested from. Writes are not supported.
+ *
+ * The cache holds the file descriptor, the offset into the file and the amount
+ * of valid data in the cache. If the file is ever modified the user of the
+ * cache to responsible for flushing the cache. For example the cache should be
+ * flused if the file is closed.
+ *
+ * The cache can return by reference or by value. By reference allow access to
+ * the cache buffer. Do not modify the cache's data. By value will copy the
+ * requested data into the user supplied buffer.
+ *
+ * The read by reference call allows you to probe the file's data. For example
+ * a string in an object file can be an unknown length. You can request a read
+ * up to the cache's size by reference. The code will attempt to have this data
+ * in the buffer. If there is not enough data in the file the length will be
+ * modifed to reflect this.
+ *
+ * You can have more than one cache for a single file all looking at different
+ * parts of the file.
