The architecture dependencies of protobuf are going to change, and
they are already duplicated between protobuf, ola and mosh. In order
to factorize the expression of those dependencies, this commit
introduces BR2_PACKAGE_PROTOBUF_ARCH_SUPPORTS.
Note that we include in this hidden Config.in option both the target
architecture dependency and the host architecture dependency.
Finally, this commit also fixes a real mistake in the mosh Config.in
file, where the condition on the architecture dependency for the
Config.in comment was inverted: we only want to show the Config.in
comment when we are on supported architectures.

Eventhough it should be theoretically possible to build protobuf in
static-only, configure.ac includes an m4 macro, ACX_PTHREAD defined in
m4/acx_pthread.m4, which forcibly checks for threads *with* shared libs,
and is completely broken for static-only (as it forces -shared whatever
the user selection), ending up with these configure results:
checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no
checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no
checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no
checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -pthread... yes
checking for joinable pthread attribute... PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
checking if more special flags are required for pthreads... no
checking whether to check for GCC pthread/shared inconsistencies... yes
checking whether -pthread is sufficient with -shared... no
checking whether -lpthread fixes that... no
checking whether -lc_r fixes that... no
configure: WARNING: Impossible to determine how to use pthreads with shared libraries
checking whether what we have so far is sufficient with -nostdlib... no
checking whether -lpthread saves the day... no
configure: WARNING: Impossible to determine how to use pthreads with shared libraries and -nostdlib
Fixing this macro is far from trivial; protobuf in a static-only
scenario is probably not too common. So, just disable protobuf for
static-only builds.

The host-protobuf package can only build on certain architectures. For
example, host-protobuf does not build on PowerPC platforms, causing
build failures on the autobuilders. Since we don't really care about
build platforms other than x86 and x86-64, this commit restricts the
build of host-protobuf to these architectures only, even though if
technically it could build on ARM and MIPS.

protobuf 2.5.0 adds an atomic operations implementation that is limited
to a few architectures only. mips64el and armeb don't work either.
