toolchain/wrapper: add option to print one argument per line

Browse Source 
In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line
can get very long, and difficult to parse visually.

For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least
45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command
line is daunting.

So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line.

Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line
can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being
inrerpreted by the shell.

Add blurb about toolchain-wrapper to documentation at the same
time.

It also requires to set the Buildroot settings according to the toolchain ones
(see xref:external-toolchain-backend[]).
When using an external toolchain, Buildroot generates a wrapper program, that
passes the appropriate options (according to the configuration) to the
external toolchain programs. In case you need to debug this wrapper, you can
set the environment variable BR_DEBUG_WRAPPER to either one of:
* +0+, empty or not set: no debug
* +1+: trace all arguments on a single line
* +2+: trace one argument per line
