To solve the issue of carrying object files from previous builds,
Matias changed the archiving process to re-archive libapps.a on every compilation,
if libapps.a carries more object files, incremental compilation will waste too
many time in re-archiving, compared with the previous implement, this is a degradation
of the build system. Referring to mature engineering projects such as cmake, if there
is configuration or source file changed, the best solution should be to reconfigure
the environment.
Revert this PR to ensure the compilation speed during incremental compilation.

| Fix: ensure archive files do not carry object files from prior builds
|
| In some cases, when NuttX configuration changes and this makes the
| object list used to build one of the .a libraries change as well,
| since the command used to build it is "ar crs" and this simply appends
| the list of object files, the library could still include object
| files from prior builds. This commit modifies the ARCHIVE macro to
| erase the .a file if it already exists.
|
| Since in some cases this behavior was actually expected (object
| files from a subdirectory were appended to a library created one
| level above) I added a ARCHIVE_ADD which works as ARCHIVE did.
|
| This change should greatly improve behavior of building after
| configuration changes.

wget is missing from some system (like macOS and Windows native),
it's better to use curl to simplify build environment.

This change should greatly improve behavior of building after
configuration changes.
Make.dep file should be updated by .config changed after first make.
There are 2 cases affected for this problem:
1) Add source files by config symbol
2) Include header files in #ifdef directive
These 2 cases may not be included in Make.dep and this may prevent the
differential build from working correctly.
This reverts commit b9ace36fcc.
This change was added by PR 625 but has a serious logic flaw. It removes all occurrences of INCDIROPT and replaces it with a definition in tools/Config.mk:
else ifeq ($(WINTOOL),y)
DEFINE = "$(TOPDIR)/tools/define.sh"
INCDIR = "$(TOPDIR)/tools/incdir.sh" -w
This logic flaw is the Config.mk is included in all Make.defs files BEFORE WINTOOL is defined. As a result, the definition is wrong in many places when building under Cygwin with a Windows native toolchain.
Squashed commit of the following:
libs/libxx: Fix some confusing in naming. If the directory is called libxx, then the library must be libxx.a (unless perhaps LIBCXX is selected).
libs/: Fix paths in moved library directories.
libs: Brute force move of libc, libnx, and libxx to libs. Cannot yet build it in that configuration.
