Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library
used, we need to take into account the three toolchain backends. As we
are going to add eglibc support to the Buildroot toolchain backend, it
would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden
options: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, that
exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code
base is converted to use those options.
Note that we have intentionally created only one option
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) for both glibc and eglibc, since they are
essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

The selection of linuxthreads, linuxthreads old or NPTL doesn't make a
lot of sense for external toolchains. So, instead, we :
* Introduce an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option, which must be
selected by toolchain specific options when thread support is
available. Package needing to test thread support should use this
option.
* Move the none/linuxthreads/linuxthreads old/NPTL selection to
Buildroot internal toolchain configuration.
* Add an option in external toolchain to tell if thread support is
available or not in the external toolchain. We assume that glibc
without threads is not possible, as Ulrich Drepper said in
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html
ffmpeg, dmalloc and openvpn are fixed to use the new
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option. For openvpn, --enable-threads=posix
is no longer used, as the configure script doesn't even understand
this option.

Reworking ltp-testsuite is needed in order to get rid of some
thread-specific options that will be cleaned-up in the next commit.
