01b434b27a toolchain: remove toolchain-specific stripping
We already handle the stripping of libraries in $(TARGET_DIR) at the
global level, so there's no need to have toolchain-specific option and
code for this.

6c492d5e7b toolchain: add support for external toolchain profiles and download
Instead of letting the user define all the details of his external
toolchain, we define a set of profiles for well-known external
toolchains (CodeSourcery ones only at the moment, can easily be
extended with other toolchains).

Once a profile has been choosen, the user is offered the choice of
either letting Buildroot download and install the external toolchain,
or (as before) to tell Buildroot where the toolchain is installed on
the system.

We of course provide a "custom profile", through which the user can
configure Buildroot to use a custom external toolchain for which no
profile is available.

fff711786a toolchain: Improve C library option selection
Turn BR2_LARGEFILE, BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, BR2_USE_WCHAR,
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE and BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION into hidden options.

Then, for Buildroot toolchains, external toolchains and Crosstool-NG
toolchains, provide visible options that selects the hidden options.

This allows :

 * To show a different label and help text in the case of Buildroot
   toolchain (do you want to enable feature X ?) and in the case of
   external toolchain (is feature X available in your toolchain ?)

 * To not show any option when a glibc external toolchain is selected
   (since glibc is assumed to support all of largefile, IPv6, RPC,
   WCHAR, locale and program invocation) and have them all selected in
   that case.

There is some amount of duplication between Buildroot toolchain config
options and Crosstool-NG toolchain config options, because kconfig
doesn't allow to source the same Config.in file twice (even if under
mutually exclusive conditions). This duplication is more readable that
the hack that consists in splitting files in multiple pieces.

However, this commit changes the name of the options visible in the
configuration interface, so existing .config files will have to be
updated accordingly.

f78ea9fcf0 toolchain: rename external toolchain dir
Rename the external toolchain directory.
When new backends are here, it will be easier to sort them out
if they are all prefixed the same way.
