The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a
specificity of the toolchain, but rather of the architecture.
So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations
can select. This in turn selects the current toolchain atomic option,
until all packages have been converted, at which point the old
toolchain option can be removed.

The AVR32 architecture from Atmel is obsolete since a long time, not
supported upstream in most of the toolchain components (requires a
special version of gcc, an old version of uClibc, etc.). Until
February, Simon Dawson was making an excellent job at maintaining
AVR32 in Buildroot, and fixing all the issues caused by this
architecture. However, Simon focus has changed, and despite his call
for a new maintainer for AVR32 in Buildroot, nobody stepped up.
The issue of maintaining AVR32 is becoming worse and worse, so this
patch proposes to deprecate it for 2014.08, but keeping the support
around, to remove it for sure in 2014.11.

On some architectures one can be running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit
userland. Such is the case for sparc64 (unsupported) for example and
mips64 with n32 ABI.
Some tools that interface directly with the kernel need to be built
specially for this, so introduce this symbol to tweak their build in
one central kludge to be future-proof.
Example: bug #6602.

Currently, all target options lie in the top-level menu.

This commit adds very basic support to build for the Nios II
architecture. Toolchain support is still missing and instead
we need to use an external custom toolchain.
Notice that this architecture had been previously removed in
Buildroot 2010.05-rc1 release (as explained in the CHANGES file)
and this commit adds it back.

Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.
This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:
* provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.
* passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
instructions it should generate.
* passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

As we are going to introduced a more advanced support of floating
point options for the ARM architecture, we need to adjust how the
soft-float option is handled. We replace the current hidden option
BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:
* A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.
* Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
soft float emulation when needed.
This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of
presenting its floating point capabilities.

Buildroot already has the BR2_GCC_TARGET_{TUNE,ARCH,ABI,CPU} hidden
kconfig strings that allow per-architecture Config.in files to feed
the appropriate values of --with-{tune,arch,abi-cpu} when building
gcc, or the appropriate flags for the external toolchain wrapper.
This commit has two additional options:
BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU,FLOAT_ABI}, that allows to define the
--with-{fpu,float} gcc configure options for the internal backend, or
the -m{fpu,float-abi} options for the flags of the external toolchain
wrapper.

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.

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.
