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.

elfutils is annoying: it needs gettext even if locale support is
disabled...

elfutils uses the argp family of functions, that isn't available in
uClibc. So, we add a dependency on argp-standalone if building with
uClibc, and modify elfutils source code to link against argp if
needed.

Add and use a --{enable,disable}-progs configuration option to
selectively enable or disable the elfutils programs. Generally, on an
embedded system, the libraries are more useful than the programs, and
being able to not build the programs will make it easier to build the
elfutils libraries on uClibc.

This patch adds a a package for elfutils. For now, the package is
glibc specific, as adding uClibc support for this package is quite
tedious, and will therefore be done through followup patches.
