* simplify versioning
* uniform patch documentation
* reorder phases so they read in order
* reorder scripts for readability
* GNU toolchain dir:
handle sysroot for GNU toolchain like for C headers, so that
GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX is actually used correctly
add check phase for running some of the Swift test suite

so the check phase remains disabled by default.
update Swift
* new tweaks to the build process are mostly documented inline
* the swiftc wrapper needs the linker path for libicu
* some older tweaks could be removed
* remove fuzz from patches by updating line numbers
* one build fix to libdispatch has been filed upstream
* necessary tweaks and patches to get swift 4.2.1 to build
* disabled more tests because they would require additional patching
* delete empty directories from final build output
* some minor cleanup
One should do this when needed executables at run time. It is more
honest and cross-friendly than refering to binutils directly, if one
neeeds the default binary tools for the target platform, rather than
binutils in particular.

* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
