BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SHADOW_PASSWORDS) added this symbol to identify
Blackfin toolchains without shadow passwords support. We no longer
support Blackfin.

There are cases where a downloaded toolchain doesn't have its binaries
placed directly in a "bin" subfolder (where BuildRoot currently looks
for them).
A common example is the official Raspberry Pi Toolchain
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools), which has its binaries in
"arm-bcm2708/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin".
This commit introduces BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_REL_BIN_PATH that defaults
to "bin" and can be changed as needed.

When an architecture expresses a requirement on the gcc version, limit
the version choice in the custom external toolchain.
The rationale being that there is no point in offering that version to
the user if we know before-hand that the gcc version will not work for
that architecture.
All versions below the minimum we support is just made conditional to
that minimum as well, including the "older" entry.
However, this means that the "older" entry is no longer available when
the architecture requires a minimum gcc version. A user who wants to use
a toolchain with a gcc older than the minimum will have no choice but to
realise the toolchain is not suitable (or lie and we would catch that
when checking the gcc version anyway).

Add a new patch to allow to build gcc 7.1 without extracting gcc/testsuite
directory.
This new gcc version require a kernel patch [1] to avoid a build issue with
____ilog2_NaN symbol. The following kernel version contain contain already
this patch :
4.11, 4.10.6, 4.9.18, 4.4.57, 3.18.50 and 3.12.73.
To build a toolchain based on gcc 7 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24, the patch [2] is
required to avoid a build issue due to missing aligned_alloc() definition.

We currently support gcc as old as 4.3. However, Buildroot works
perfectly well with even older gcc versions (tested with 4.1). So we
can add an option BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_OLD to support that. The
help text of this option is written with plenty of discouragement.
We use _OLD and not something like _PRE_4_3, because at some point we
will likely remove the 4.3 option and what would then require a name
change.
We don't set any _AT_LEAST option in this case because it's no use -
there is no lower bound on the version in this case. We therefore leave
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST empty (the implicit default). When it is
empty, we don't do a version check at all in check_gcc_version
(previously we errored out when it was empty).
