legal info: fix saving of host package licenses
Due to some tricky make behavior, the license texts of host packages that
did not provide an explicit HOST_FOO_LICENSE_FILES definition was not saved.
The problem is that it is not straightforward to use a variable
defined/updated inside an evaluated block as input to a foreach statement.
If you try to use $(FOO) then only the original value of FOO is used for
foreach, any update inside the block is ignored. However, if you use
$$(FOO), the entire contents of FOO (typically a list of items) is passed
as one item to foreach, thus causing just one iteration instead of several.
>From Arnout Vandecapelle's explanation:
Any variable referenced with a single $ inside the inner-generic-package
macro is expanded before the resulting contents are eval'ed. Therefore, it
is not possible to refer to variables defined by the inner-generic-package
macro from within a single-$ function call.
To fix the problem, one should defer the evaluation of the entire block
using double dollar signs.
Additionally, a few empty lines have been added to the legal-info-foo block
for clarity.
