This change introduces newer ARC toolchain in Buildroot.
That new arc-2015.12 release doesn't bring any significant changes
but mostly is focused on fixes and minor improvements here and there.
Most noticeable changes are:
* GCC: Source update to v4.8.5
* GDB: Updated to upstream 7.10 release.

I'm happy to update GNU tools for ARC cores to the most recent
arc-2015.06 release.
This release brings following major improvements:
* GCC: source update to v4.8.4
* GCC: C ABI compatibility between MetaWare and GNU toolchains
* uClibc: support for thread local storage and Native Pthread Library (NPTL)
* GDB: updated to version 7.9.1
Also a lot of fixes and improvements has been done, please refer to

Binutils 2.24 produces broken code when compiling the kernel for
ppc64le, so prevent this combination. See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-12/msg00200.html
The problem manifests early in the boot process with "Kernel access of
bad area, sig: 11" in arch_match_cpu_phys_id().
The fix has been merged upstream as commit
57fa7b8c7e59e35bced580f9bcb9668af43fdbce, which is available since
Binutils 2.25.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.
- Fix typo in toolchain-external.mk comment.]

Following patches were removed from GCC since they are a part of release
now:

* 402-fix-length-of-instructions-that-are-in-delay-slot-and-needs-to-be-predicated.patch
* 403-update-casesi_compact_jump-instruction-length.patch
But since arc-2014.12 tools are still based on GCC 4.8 following patches
ar still relevant so moving to the new folder to match ARC gcc bump.
* 100-libstdcxx-uclibc-c99.patch
* 910-gcc-poison-system-directories.patch

- The 2.20.x series is old, it no longer makes sense to support it.
- In the 2.21.x series, we still have 2.21.1, so keeping 2.21 doesn't
make much sense, so this patch removes it.
- Similarly for the 2.23.x series, having both 2.23.1 and 2.23.2
doesn't make much sense, so this patch removes 2.23.1 and keeps
2.23.2.
