These are recipes where the upstream has moved to GPLv3 and these old
versions are the last ones under the GPLv2 license.
There are several reasons for making this move. There is a different
quality of service with these recipes in that they don't get security
fixes and upstream no longer care about them, in fact they're actively
hostile against people using old versions. The recipes tend to need a
different kind of maintenance to work with changes in the wider ecosystem
and there needs to be isolation between changes made in the v3 versions
and those in the v2 versions.
There are probably better ways to handle a "non-GPLv3" system but right
now having these in OE-Core makes them look like a first class citizen
when I believe they have potential for a variety of undesireable issues.
Moving them into a separate layer makes their different needs clearer, it
also makes it clear how many of these there are. Some are probably not
needed (e.g. mc), I also wonder whether some are useful (e.g. gmp)
since most things that use them are GPLv3 only already. Someone could
now more clearly see how to streamline the list of recipes here.
I'm proposing we mmove to this separate layer for 2.3 with its future
maintinership and testing to be determined in 2.4 and beyond.

The sanity check is ensuring that filesystem size is divisible by
sectors-per-track. That seems to be just an optimization for ancient
media, and quite tricky to accomplish as different dosfstools versions
produce filesystems with different sectors-per-track.
Continue processing even if filesystem size is not divisible by
sectors-per-track.

When build fs with mtools-3.9.9, has file /usr/bin/lz in rootfs,
it is the symlink to uz:
root@qemu3:~# /usr/bin/lz
-sh: /usr/bin/lz: No such file or directory
$root@qemu3:~# ls -l /usr/bin/lz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2 Jul 18 18:07 /usr/bin/lz -> uz
root@qemu3:~# uz
-sh: uz: command not found
But the uz isn't actually exist, so the result is that lz is a
broken symlink.
The root cause is that uz hasn't been installed when install-scripts.

This is the latest release of mtools, which is also GPLv3. Leaving
the previous recipe as-is since it is GPLv2.

Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things
and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several
logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more
information about the classifications used.
The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes"
as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to
people and has many different meanings.
Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass
at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as
they're no longer actively used or maintained.
