Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.
This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:
* provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.
* passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
instructions it should generate.
* passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

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.

As we are going to introduced a more advanced support of floating
point options for the ARM architecture, we need to adjust how the
soft-float option is handled. We replace the current hidden option
BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:
* A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.
* Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
soft float emulation when needed.
This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of
presenting its floating point capabilities.

Buildroot already has the BR2_GCC_TARGET_{TUNE,ARCH,ABI,CPU} hidden
kconfig strings that allow per-architecture Config.in files to feed
the appropriate values of --with-{tune,arch,abi-cpu} when building
gcc, or the appropriate flags for the external toolchain wrapper.
This commit has two additional options:
BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU,FLOAT_ABI}, that allows to define the
--with-{fpu,float} gcc configure options for the internal backend, or
the -m{fpu,float-abi} options for the flags of the external toolchain
wrapper.

Using the newly introduced 'eglibc' package, this commit enables the
option of building a toolchain using the eglibc C library in the
Buildroot toolchain backend.
In details, this commit:
* Creates a choice to select uClibc or eglibc in the Buildroot
toolchain backend (in toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in), and
removes the fact that the Buildroot toolchain backend forcefully
enables uClibc (toolchain/Config.in).
* Creates a BUILDROOT_LIBC variables, which points to the package
implementing the C library (i.e either 'uclibc' or 'eglibc').
* Modifies the gcc-final and gcc-intermediate makefiles to use the
BUILDROOT_LIBC variable instead of hardcoding the use of uclibc.
* Ensures that TLS support is always enabled when building eglibc.

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.
