This commit adds support for external toolchains based on the musl C
library, as available from http://www.musl-libc.org.
Note that the pre-built musl toolchains available from
http://musl.codu.org/ are not working for the moment, since they lack
sysroot support. However, this problem has been reported to the
maintainer, who has already added sysroot support in his scripts at
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross, and therefore the next
version of the pre-built toolchains should work with Buildroot
out-of-the-box. In the mean time, the musl-cross script must be used
to build the toolchain.

Until now, the copy_toolchain_lib_root function took as argument the
base name of a library (e.g: libm.so), and was assuming that the usual
scheme libm.so.<x> being a symbolic link to the real library was used.
However, with musl based toolchains, the C library is named libc.so
directly, with no symbolic link at all. Therefore, this commit changes
the copy_toolchain_lib_root to move the responsibility of using a
wildcard or not after the library name the caller's responsibility.
So, all the existing LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS values are modified to have a
.* at the end, so that the behavior is effectively unchanged.

The external toolchain code makes the assumption that all C libraries
have a ld*.so, libc.so, libcrypt.so, libdl.so, libgcc_s.so, libm.so,
libnsl.so, libresolv.so, libutil.so, and when thread support is
enabled, libpthread.so, etc.
However, this is not the case with the musl C library, which
integrates all the functionalities in a single libc.so file. In
preparation of the support of the musl library, we make the current
value of LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS conditional to glibc or uClibc.
The addition of additional libraries through
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_LIBS is kept outside the condition, at
the end.

This commit converts the 'toolchain-external' logic to the package
infrastructure.
The TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DIR variable (which points to where the
toolchain is located) is renamed to TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR,
because the former conflicts with the package infrastructure (which
defines the <pkg>_DIR variable for each package as pointing to its
build directory).
The new _EXTRA_DOWNLOADS mechanism is used for Blackfin toolchains.
The extract, configuration and installation steps are converted inside
the <pkg>_EXTRACT_CMDS, <pkg>_CONFIGURE_CMDS and
<pkg>_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS.
