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.

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).

Previously, the crosstool-NG backend did depend on the top-level
Buildroot's .config to detect changes in the toolchain options,
using a tentatively-clever heuristic, which also included the full
Buildroot's version string to push down to set the components' versions
strings.
In doing so, any commit in the Buildroot tree would imply a complete
rebuild of the toolchain, even in the case the toolchain options did
not change, thus being a large annoyance (to say the least).
As Buildroot never guaranteed that toolchain options would be detected,
even less handled, and that the internal backend does neither detect nor
act on toolchain options changes, and delegate that to the user, there
is no point in individualising the crosstool-NG backend's behaviour.
This reasoning also applies to the depdency on the crosstool-NG's bundled
.config file, too.
So, just drop the not-so-clever heuristic, and just build the toolchain
once, leaving to the user the responsibility to explictly ask Buildroot
to rebuild the toolchain.

Since 11017f081f, the Crosstool-ng
backend generates toolchains that have a prefix inconsistent with what
Buildroot expects. Buildroot expects a "buildroot" vendor name, while
Crosstool-NG builds toolchain with the "unknown" vendor name.
This is causing build failure such as:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/15b2c0e50a81b86dd13af684c9254df2bc0df8de/build-end.log

Decimal floats were introduced circa gcc-4.2 or -4.3, and requires
the floating-point environement fenv.h in the C library.
The uClibc .config file used by crosstool-NG to build uClibc is the
same as used by the internal buildroot mechanism, and explcitly
disables fenv support.
The quick workaround is to simply disable decimal floats in all
crosstool-NG config files.
In the long run, it might be better to check this situation, and/or
add code and/or options in crosstool-NG to handle this (but it is
much more involved, and this workaround is sane).

Bundled config files have architecture-specific values in them,
which may break if buildroot is configured with another architecture
that does not forcibly set these option.
For example, the bundled config files are for x86_64, and define:
CT_ARCH_TUNE="generic"
This comes from the BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE config option (in buildroot) that
is set accordingly to the selected (arch,sub-arch).
But if someone configures buildroot for, say, generic ARM, then the
BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE config option is not set, and the crosstool-NG backend
Makefile believes it should not be pushed down to the crosstool-NG config
file.
BUT...
The crosstool-NG backend Makefile can not forcibly push BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE
down to the CT-NG config file. If BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE is empty, the user can
still set CT_ARCH_TUNE by running ctng-menuconfig.
The backend Makefile already passes such values only if they are set.
In the end, we can't push options as-is to the crosstool-NG config, but we
MUST provide sane bundled config files, which this patch does.

Peter on IRC reported some build failures for different targets.
They were of two kinds:
- missing/unknown stack unwinding support
- missing *_chk functions
The first is about configure not being able to automagically determine
if stack unwinding support is available for the target. The second is
about fortified build forgetting to build the fortified functions.
This applies to both glibc and eglibc.
After some discussions on IRC with Jacmet, it appears that we can
safely assume both of the following:
- virtually all targets of buildroot will have stack unwinding support
- we do not care about fortified builds (so far)
So, update the bundled crosstool-NG .config file to saner defaults:
- force unwind support
- disable fortified builds

Depending on some setting (which? Arch? Others?), the dynamic linker
can get different names. Some times, it is named ld-linux.something.so,
other times, it is ld.so.1, and maybe other variants as well...
The fix is to always copy ls*.so, even if it is a symlink: we create
the destination file by its SONAME, and if ld*.so matches more than
one file, that's no issue, as they would all get the same SONAME (being
symlinks ones to the others).
