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.]

Now when new shiny tools are released by Synopsys we're ready for
version update in Buildroot again.
More details about arc-2014.12 release are available here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2014.12
Following patches were removed from GCC since they are a part of release
now:
* 200-size_type_unsigned_int.patch
* 300-ptrdiff_type_int.patch
* 400-call-arc_hazard-before-branch-shortening.patch
* 401-fix-length-attribute-for-casesi_load-pattern.patch
* 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
Binutils are still based on 2.23 so following patch still makes sense:
* 600-poison-system-directories.patch

Those gcc series are old and are not used as the default versions for
any of the architectures we support, so this commit gets rid of them.
The gcc 4.3.x series technically remains used by the LPC32xx
defconfigs we have:
configs/ea3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
configs/fdi3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
configs/phy3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
Back when those defconfigs were introduced, gcc 4.3 was chosen because
it was the only one capable of building a fully working kernel for
those ARM-based platforms. However, the original submitter, Alexandre
Belloni, no longer has access to the hardware platforms, so he is
unable to test if newer gcc versions have fixed the problem. It
certainly doesn't make sense to keep gcc 4.3.x just for those three
boards, so we'll wait for someone actually using those defconfigs to
complain.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

The mudflap library is only useful if one uses the -fmudflap gcc
option to do more checks on pointers/arrays. This commit adds an
option to enable/disable mudflap support at the gcc level. By default,
it is disabled, which saves a little bit of build time compared to the
default of gcc which consists in enabling mudflap support.
Since mudflap is now disabled by default, and ensured to never be enabled
on platforms where it is not available, some gcc.mk code that was used to
disable mudflap in problematic configurations can be removed.
Whether -fmudflap is used when building is left to the user.
