This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).

The support for mklibs has been marked broken since more than a year
and nobody cared to bring it up to a working state.

As suggested by Arnout Vandecappelle, move toolchain/dependencies to
support/dependencies, as it really is not toolchain-specific anymore.

* Convert binutils to a proper autotargets package
* Add version 2.21 and drop version 2.17
* Hook up packaged binutils for target gcc
* Build tools are on HOST_DIR now so change it
* Move cross/host gcc to HOST_DIR
* Drop kludge from commit 3c77bab2ee
This is fixed in the next commit "gcc: install copies of libgcc,
libstdc++ and libgcj to the sysroot" - tested for arm & x86_64
targets.
* TARGET_CROSS now pointed to HOST_DIR too

* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target).
* ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will
automatically build ccache for the host before building anything,
and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and
target compilations.
* bump ccache to 3.1.3

Including a bunch of Makefiles with wildcard makes it impossible to add
new toolchain backends. Avoid that by namely including needed files.
The external toolchain still needs to include all the toolchain/*/*.mk
sub-makefiles, as they are needed to build a toolchain that runs on the
target. It is to be noted that the cross-toolchain is not built in this
case, as the make-targets to build the cross-toolchain are not present
in the $(BASE_TARGETS) variable, which is later used to create the
dependency rules.
Also, the comment 'Explicit ordering' has been removed, as it is mis-
leading. It is make's responsibility to create the proper ordering based
on the dependency rules it finds in the Makefiles
