The recent commit adding the external toolchain wrapper has broken the
support for external toolchain. The check_arm_eabi, check_cplusplus
and check_cross_compiler_exists functions were using TARGET_CC, which
points to the toolchain wrapper, but at the moment those functions are
called, the wrapper hasn't been generated yet.
We fix this by passing to these functions the path to the C or C++
compiler they should use for their tests.

Some packages need to know whether the MMU is in play, so add a toolchain
option to expose the feature to them.
[Peter: only show option on archs where it makes sense]

ARCH_SUBDIR is a shell variable, so it should be referenced with
$${ARCH_SUBDIR}. Without this, no symbolic link is created, and the
external toolchain fails to work if the non-default multilib variant
is used.

When an external toolchain is used, the user is responsible for
telling Buildroot what the configuration of the toolchain is. In order
to make sure that the selection is correct, we already perform checks
against the configuration of the uClibc in the selected external
toolchain. This commit adds the check for thread support.

Instead of having BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX and BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP, with
BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX not being visible (and therefore being useless),
let's just keep BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP to enable C++ in the toolchain
and install C++ libraries on the target.
We also take that opportunity to make BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP an hidden
option, which is selected by an option in Buildroot toolchain support
or an option in External toolchain support, just as we did for other
toolchain features.
Some work definitely remains to be done :
- The name BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP is ugly, but we keep it for the
moment in order to avoid changing all packages.
- We should clarify the other language-related options (Fortran,
Java, Objective-C, etc.).

We already handle the stripping of libraries in $(TARGET_DIR) at the
global level, so there's no need to have toolchain-specific option and
code for this.

Some helpers had their final line ending with a semi-colon, some did
not. For consistency, remove the final semi-colon from all helpers,
it's the responsability of the caller to add the final semi-colon as
needed.

The helper functions used for external toolchains may also be useful
to alternate toolchain backends (currently, the external toolchain is
the sole user).
