d04ea6e4e8 arch: add BR2_READELF_ARCH_NAME hidden config option
This config option corresponds to the string returned by readelf for
the "Machine" field of the ELF header. It will be used to check if the
architecture of binaries built by Buildroot match the target
architecture.

633f20002e i386: properly define BR2_ARCH for all x86 subarchitectures
We were not defining BR2_ARCH for two of the x86 subarchitecture,
which means the architecture part of the GNU_TARGET_NAME tuple was
empty, leading to weird build failures.

This commit fixes that by defining the appropriate values.

Fixes bug #8861.

6cb4814c87 arch/x86: remove support for i386
The Linux kernel doesn't even support i386 anymore, there is no NPTL
support for i386 and uClibc-ng only supports NPTL on x86, so there is
essentially no usable thread implementation. Most likely glibc and
musl also don't support i386 either. So it's time to remove the
support for this architecture variant.

80e4060908 arch/Config.in.x86: drop BR2_x86_generic
The fuzzy generic x86 variant doesn't make much sense in the context of
Buildroot, and the recent change to use -march instead of -mtune broke it.

From the GCC manual:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.2/gcc/i386-and-x86-64-Options.html#i386-and-x86-64-Options:

-mtune=cpu-type
    Tune to cpu-type everything applicable about the generated code,
    except for the ABI and the set of available instructions. While
    picking a specific cpu-type schedules things appropriately for that
    particular chip, the compiler does not generate any code that cannot
    run on the default machine type unless you use a -march=cpu-type
    option. For example, if GCC is configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu then
    -mtune=pentium4 generates code that is tuned for Pentium 4 but still
    runs on i686 machines.

    The choices for cpu-type are the same as for -march. In addition,
    -mtune supports 2 extra choices for cpu-type:

    ‘generic’
        Produce code optimized for the most common IA32/AMD64/EM64T
        processors. If you know the CPU on which your code will run,
        then you should use the corresponding -mtune or -march option
        instead of -mtune=generic. But, if you do not know exactly what
        CPU users of your application will have, then you should use
        this option.

        As new processors are deployed in the marketplace, the behavior
        of this option will change. Therefore, if you upgrade to a newer
        version of GCC, code generation controlled by this option will
        change to reflect the processors that are most common at the
        time that version of GCC is released.

        There is no -march=generic option because -march indicates the
        instruction set the compiler can use, and there is no generic
        instruction set applicable to all processors. In contrast,
        -mtune indicates the processor (or, in this case, collection of
        processors) for which the code is optimized.

6bec1d5191 arch/x86: get rid of BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE
According to the gcc documentation, -march implies -mtune on x86, so
defining both BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH and BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE is
redundant. Therefore, this commit removes the definition of
BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE on x86.

However, while doing so, it adds one new case for BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH:
using -march=generic when BR2_x86_generic is selected.

a20cb38659 arch: add support for "jaguar" AMD CPU optimisations
AMD Jaguar ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_%28microarchitecture%29 ) is
suddenly a popular architecture since it is used in the PS4 and the XBox One.
Many embedded systems are also likely to use it in the next years.

This patch adds support for GCC architecture-specific optimisations and
tuning for these CPUs.
These optimizations are available with GCC 4.8+.

44c04a2b4a arch: improve definition of gcc mtune, mcpu, etc.
As suggested by Yann E. Morin, there is a better way than our current
big Config.in.common to define the gcc mtune, mcpu, march,
etc. values. We can split the setting of those values in each
architecture file, which makes a lot more sense.

Therefore, the Config.in file now creates empty kconfig variables
BR2_ARCH, BR2_ENDIAN, BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE, BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH,
BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI and BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU. The values of those
variables are set by the individual Config.in.<arch> files. This is
possible because such files are now only conditionally included
depending on the top-level architecture that has been selected.

79ee3c1f84 Split target/Config.in.arch into multiple Config.in.* in arch/
target/Config.in.arch had become too long, and we want to remove the
target/ directory. So let's move it to arch/ and split it this way:

 * An initial Config.in that lists the top-level architecture, and
   sources the arch-specific Config.in.<arch> files, as well as
   Config.in.common (see below)

 * One Config.in.<arch> per architecture, listing the CPU families,
   ABI choices, etc.

 * One Config.in.common that defines the gcc mtune, march, mcpu values
   and other hidden options.
