Thomas Petazzoni 141358d838 toolchain-external-linaro-{arm,armeb}: allow on ARMv8
The Linaro toolchains are currently only available on ARMv7-A, but can
in fact also be used to generate 32 bits code for ARMv8 platforms. This
commit therefore adjusts their architecture dependency.

Example, a 32 bits ARM build produces a 32 bits busybox binary:

$ file output/target/bin/busybox
output/target/bin/busybox: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=16a7a70eb9cac08759e52a260478b9c287f59238, stripped

Which was built for Cortex-A72:

$ ./output/host/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -A output/target/bin/busybox

Linaro toolchain for the ARM architecture. It uses Linaro
GCC 2016.11 (based on gcc 6.2.1), Linaro GDB 2016.11 (based on
GDB 7.12), glibc 2.23, Binutils 2016.11 (based on 2.27). It
generates code that runs on all Cortex-A profile devices,
but tuned for the Cortex-A9. The code generated is Thumb 2,
with the hard floating point calling convention, and uses
the VFPv3-D16 FPU instructions.
