apps/builtin/exec_builtin.c: Try posix_spawn if builtin apps do not have have an entry point.
apps/Application.mk: introduce MODULE config to simplify tristate(m)
apps/nsh: Change the nuttx shell module type to tristate
apps: Add loadable application support
script/mksymtab: Generate symbol table name by default
apps/builtin: Allow loadable applications can register with apps/builtin.
i8sak: i8sak daemon now gets shutdown if not in use.
Previously, once the i8sak daemon was started, by running any command, it would stay running. This means that if you want to use i8sak to setup your network, but then want exclusive access to the char device, or network device, you have to manually shutdown the i8sak daemon. Now the daemon stays active as long as required to finish any commands, or stays open if a new command keeps it on, but when all work is finished, it shuts down.

Merged in masayuki2009/nuttx.apps/loadable_app (pull request #148)
loadable app support
* apps: Introduce a build system for loadable apps for nsh.
This PR consits of following changes. (NOTE: Changes to each
application will be provided separately)
apps/nshlib/Kconfig:
Add 'option modules' to NSH_FILE_APPS so that a user can change
an application configuration to tristate (y/n/m)
apps/Make.defs:
Override COMPILE and COMPILEXX macros to compile loadable apps.
To make loadable apps, -DLOADABLE_APP is added to the flags.
Also, introduce ELFLD to link a lodable app.
Please note that the variable 'LOADABLE' must be defined in
each application Makefile if you want to make a loadable app.
apps/Application.mk:
Add .build target in case of 'LOADABLE=y' which is used to
link a final loadable application and install the app to
apps/bin.
apps/Makefile:
Add SYMTABSRC and SYMTABOBJ variables for loadable apps which
will be generated under the apps directory.
Add make_symbols target which will be called when all applications
are installed to generate symtab_app.c which is used for
nsh to inform symbol information to the NuttX kernel.

* apps/examples/hello: Apply changes to support a lodable app.
Kconfig:
Change the application state from bool to tristate
Make.defs:
Change the condition to build. By default, the application is
not selected (i.e. 'n'), so if other states (i.e. y/m) are
selected, the application will be compiled.
Makefile:
If the application is specified to 'm', the variable 'LOADABLE'
must be defined here. Also note that other variables (PRIORITY
and STACKSIZE) can only be used for built-in apps.
hello_main.c
Add LOADABLE_APP condition to main().
