busybox: fix build on SPARC and SPARC64

Since we introduced the support for building Busybox as individual
binaries, Busybox started failing to build on SPARC/SPARC64 with this
feature enabled:

appletlib.c:(.text.find_applet_by_name+0x14): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 against symbol `applet_nameofs' defined in .rodata.applet_nameofs section in libbb/lib.a(appletlib.o)
appletlib.c:(.text.find_applet_by_name+0x18): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 against symbol `applet_names' defined in .rodata.applet_names section in libbb/lib.a(appletlib.o)
[...]

This commit adds two patches to Busybox to fix this issue, by adding
-fPIC to CFLAGS when building on SPARC/SPARC64. The patches have been
submitted upstream.

Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: include per-arch Makefile before Makefile.flags
+
+Makefile.flags contains:
+
+ARCH_FPIC ?= -fpic
+ARCH_FPIE ?= -fpie
+
+However, arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile gets included *after* Makefile.flags,
+and therefore doesn't get the chance to provide its own value.
+
+Fix this by including arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile *before* Makefile.flags.

+
+As stated by the gcc documentation, the SPARC architecture has a
+limited GOT size, which prevents moderately large binaries to be built
+with -fpic, and -fPIC is necessary. From gcc's documentation:
+
+'-fpic'
+     Generate position-independent code (PIC) suitable for use in a
+     shared library, if supported for the target machine.  Such code
+     accesses all constant addresses through a global offset table
+     (GOT).  The dynamic loader resolves the GOT entries when the
+     program starts (the dynamic loader is not part of GCC; it is part
+     of the operating system).  If the GOT size for the linked
+     executable exceeds a machine-specific maximum size, you get an
+     error message from the linker indicating that '-fpic' does not
+     work; in that case, recompile with '-fPIC' instead.  (These
+     maximums are 8k on the SPARC, 28k on AArch64 and 32k on the m68k
+     and RS/6000.  The x86 has no such limit.)
+
+'-fPIC'
+     If supported for the target machine, emit position-independent
+     code, suitable for dynamic linking and avoiding any limit on the
+     size of the global offset table.  This option makes a difference on
+     AArch64, m68k, PowerPC and SPARC.
+
+With a limit of 8KB on SPARC, we quickly reach this limit, and we hit
+it when building Busybox on SPARC/SPARC64 with the
+CONFIG_BUILD_LIBBUSYBOX=y option enabled.
+
+Therefore, this commit redefines ARCH_FPIC as -fPIC on sparc and
+sparc64 to solve this issue.
