This reverts commit dd67de1bd3.
The MALLOC_SIMPLE workaround is no longer needed: the root cause, a
zero _dl_pagesize on noMMU/FLAT targets, is fixed by commit
35d3927e85 ("package/uclibc: fix for noMMU targets using FLAT
binaries").

Since uClibc was bumped to 1.0.58 (c7fef3704c, "package/uclibc:
bump to 1.0.58"), the board hangs after starting init:
[ 1.231624] Run /sbin/init as init process
[ 1.235599] with arguments:
[ 1.238549] /sbin/init
[ 1.241331] earlyprintk
[ 1.244018] with environment:
[ 1.247143] HOME=/
[ 1.249554] TERM=linux
[ 1.252177] consoleblank=0
No error message is printed and the boot simply stalls at this
point.
The STM32F769 has no MMU, and uClibc's standard malloc()
implementation returns NULL for allocations performed during early
init on this target, causing init to fail.
Fix this by switching to MALLOC_SIMPLE, a plain mmap-based allocator
meant for small/noMMU systems, via a uClibc config fragment. Unlike
the STM32F429/STM32F469 fix, the fragment is kept board-specific
since the STM32F769 is a Cortex-M7 board and does not belong to the
stm32f4xx family.

The patch adds .hash files for Linux, Linux headers and U-Boot and then
enables BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES. With this, we can now drop the
defconfig from .checkpackageignore.

The package/busybox/busybox-minimal.config is the default configuration
for MMU-less systems, so the setting is redundant and can be removed
without effect.

Board support package includes the following components:
- mainline Linux kernel 5.15.108
- mainline U-Boot 2023.04
- default packages from buildroot
Note: There is a problem in u-boot display management. It should display
the ST microelectronics logo but "noise" is displayed (like when running
the command dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0 in Linux). I also tried to
change version (even the first version in which this feature was
introduced), but without success. Despite this I decided not to disable
the video management configuration to remind us that it needs to be
fixed :).
