Linaro has started to release ARM big endian toolchains, so we
integrate this toolchain in the external toolchain logic of
Buildroot. Since ARM big endian is probably going to be a lot more
uncommon than ARM little endian, we will only support one version at a
time of this toolchain.

The information "To use this toolchain, you must disable soft float
usage." which was visible in the help text of Linaro toolchains is no
longer useful, since those toolchains are only visible when the ARM
EABIhf ABI is selected, which by design is not compatible with
soft-float.

We try to be conservative here, and default to kernel headers 2.6.x.

As our architecture support expands to a number of architectures that
do not implement NPTL threading, and the number of packages that
depend on NPTL specific features, it has become necessary to be able
to know whether the toolchain has NPTL support or not.
This commit adds a new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_NPTL hidden Config.in
option that allows packages to know whether NPTL is available or not.
This hidden option is:
* Automatically enabled when glibc/eglibc or musl toolchains are
used, either internal or external.
* Automatically enabled when an internal uClibc toolchain with NPTL
support is configured. It is left disabled otherwise for internal
uClibc toolchains.
* Configured according to a visible Config.in option for custom
external uClibc toolchains.
[Peter: factor _EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS in single if as suggested by Arnout]

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

The Xilinx Microblaze external toolchains that we had support for are
very old, and are causing a huge number of build issues. Thanks to
Spenser Gilliland, we now have support for Microblaze in the internal
toolchain backend, and the autobuilders have been using the internal
toolchain backend since then. Therefore, it's time to deprecate those
old and unusable external toolchains.

Maxime Ripard reported that the Linaro toolchains were not visible
when selecting a Cortex-A, but forgetting to set the EABI to
EABIhf. While this is expected, Buildroot should normally should a
comment in this case. However, the comment is only visible when the
selected ARM architecture is not ARMv7 *and* the EABI is not
EABIhf. Instead, make the comment visible when either the selected
architecture is not ARMv7 *or* when the selected EABI is not EABIhf.
While we're at it, reword the comment text so that it actually fits
within the limits of the menuconfig screen.

Previously, an external-toolchain on a mipsel/mips64el target
didn't select the appriopriate endianness but
it asked the user to set the correct CFLAGS on his/her own.
We fix this by appending "-EL" to the toolchain wrapper options
if the user has selected a mipsel/mips64el target.
[Thomas: remove unneeded test on BR2_ENDIAN, since mipsel and mips64el
are always little-endian, and add the corresponding big endian case.]

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.

This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:
*) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
toolchain backend.
*) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
support.
*) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
-fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

The introduction of the EABIhf ABI requires a few updates to the
configuration options for external toolchains, in order to ensure that
the user doesn't do any invalid selection. In detail:
* The Linaro ARM toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABIHF, because
that's the ABI they use, and it is incompatible with EABI. The
comment about the availability of Linaro toolchains is updated to
inform users selecting EABI that they should select EABIhf if they
want to see Linaro toolchains.
* The Sourcery CodeBench toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABI,
because that's the ABI they use. A comment is added to inform users
that have selected EABIhf that Sourcery CodeBench are only
available when EABI is used.
* The Arago toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABI, because that's the
ABI they use. The description of the ARMv7 Arago toolchain is also
slightly improved.

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.

For certain situations, users may want to install shared FLAT
libraries to the target filesystem even if FDPIC is used as the
primary binary format, or symmetrically users may want to install FDPIC
libraries to the target filesystem even if shared FLAT is used as the
primary binary format.
This commit allows that by:
* Offering additional Kconfig options to install shared FLAT or FDPIC
libraries even when those libraries are not selected as the primary
binary format.
* Preserving all Blackfin toolchain folders under the
TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DIR, instead of keeping only the one related to
the selected binary format.
* Adding some additional install targets that do the installation of
either the shared FLAT or FDPIC libraries when requested.
