* Bump to Buildroot 2021.08.1
Move to Buildroot 2021.08.1 using the 2021.08.x-haos branch. Some
patches on the previous branch 2021.02.x-haos have been applied upstream
meanwhile. Others required rather trivial rebasing.
This latest Buildroot release brings new versions of the following
components:
- glibc 2.33
- systemd 249.3
- Networkmanager 1.32.2
- BlueZ 5.60
- Docker 20.10.8
The patch "Fix dhcp client" seems not to be necessary anymore. The
directory /var/lib/dhcp seems not in use when NetworkManager invokes
dhclient. It seems the leases which are typically stored in that
directory are managed inside NetworkManager.

* Bump Raspberry Pi Bluetooth helper scripts
With the update to Buildroot 2021.08.1, the bthelper fails with an error
org.bluez.Error.Busy when trying to power off the device. Presumably this
is a race condition which surfaced due to a change in Bluez 5.60:

Oct 11 14:32:21 homeassistant bluetoothd[412]: Bluetooth management interface 1.18 initialized

Oct 11 14:32:21 homeassistant systemd[1]: bthelper@hci0.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 11 14:32:21 homeassistant systemd[1]: bthelper@hci0.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
The latest version of the pi-bluetooth package introduced a sleep before
powering off the device, however, presumably for a different reason:
ae2efdeee8 (diff-609c8a23261988c47afd40be9b012feb1d167de8761c1301e44e1864635c19e3)
Anyways, this latest version seems to also fix the above mentioned race
condition.
The bump to U-Boot 2021.10-rc5 also makes quite some patches obsolete
since they are already part of U-Boot.
This also removes a patch which disables framebuffer support on
Raspberry Pi: Framebuffer support seems to work fine in todays
U-Boot/Linux combination. It can help debug boot problems on Raspberry
Pi devices. Without the patch framebuffer support will be enabled by
default.
