This brings enabled features on the same level as disabled and
auto-detected features by having both alternatives available.
Looking at the commit message of 652895abdc
this seems to have been the intent from the start, but this specific
definition was missing from the option creation in Features.
Hide --enable variants from [autodetect]'ed options and --enable/--disable
variants for [enable]'d/[disable]'d options. The hidden options are still
usable, just hidden for more readability.
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
