Converted a few 16-bit variables and small arrays to 32-bit.
Stopped pulling desc->FOO members into temporary local variables
in gen_bitlen(): on register-starved arches, this is a loss,
temporaries go into stack slots.
Sprinkled a few "const" on pointer arguments.

With this change, GNU gzip -n and BusyBox gzip now produce identical output
assuming that CONFIG_GZIP_FAST=2.

With this change and CONFIG_GZIP_FAST=2, CONFIG_FEATURE_GZIP_LEVELS=y,
GNU gzip and BusyBox gzip now produce identical output at each compression
level (excluding 1..3, as BusyBox does not implement these levels).

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox
binary. Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose.
If both are enabled ash takes precedence.
The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration:
both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts
isn't compiled into hush.

Similar code to unpack embedded data is used to decompress usage
messages, embedded scripts and the config file (in the non-default
bbconfig applet).
Moving this code to a common function reduces the size of the default
build and hides more of the internals of libarchive.

To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient
to embed them in the BusyBox binary.
'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory
'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them
and embeds them in the binary.
When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as
'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism.
embed/nologin is provided as an example.
