When building in a different output directory than the original build,
there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases
there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an
option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths,
so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output).
Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made
optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the
usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option.
In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences
of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done
regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's
quite harmless.

Since we always have a toolchain wrapper now, we can move the ccache
call to the toolchain wrapper.
The hostcc ccache handling obviously stays.
The global addition of ccache to TARGET_CC/CXX is removed, but many
individual packages and infras still add it. This means we have a
chain like this: ccache -> toolchain-wrapper -> ccache -> gcc
However, this is fairly harmless: for cache misses, the inner ccache
just adds overhead and for cache hits, the inner ccache is never
called. Later patches will remove these redundant ccache calls.
As a side effect, perl now supports ccache as well.

The toolchain wrapper will be reused for the internal toolchain, so it
belongs in the toolchain directory. Also, the ext- prefix is removed
from it. The build commands are moved to a new toolchain-wrapper.mk.
The wrapper arguments that are also relevant for the internal toolchain
wrapper are moved to toolchain-wrapper.mk, the rest stays in
toolchain-external.mk.
While we're at it, move the building of the toolchain wrapper to the
build step of toolchain-external. There is no specific reason to do
this, other than that it fits better semantically. Also remove the
MESSAGE call, otherwise we'd see:
>>> toolchain-external undefined Building
>>> toolchain-external undefined Building toolchain wrapper
/usr/bin/gcc ...
Having an extra "Building toolchain wrapper' message is pointless.
The useless condition on $(BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION) is removed. It was
always true because it wasn't qstrip'ped first, so clearly it works
without that condition as well.
Also rewrapped some comments and removed the 'external' reference.
