Each multilib variant need to be selected using a special combination
of flags, requiring specific choices of the Buildroot options. This
commit documents those configuration choices to make it easier to use
the various multilib variants.

Newer versions of GDB need pthread debugging support if threads are
enabled, which is always the case for glibc but is a configure option
for uClibc.
We have solved this for internal toolchains by selecting the
BR2_PTHREAD_DEBUG option from the GDB selection if needed, but as this
option isn't available when ctng/external toolchains are used, mconf
prints ugly warnings and the build may fail if an external uClibc
toolchain without pthread debugging support is used.
Fix it by introducing 2 more hidden config options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED
The first tells us if the toolchain HAS pthreads debugging support,
and is checked by check_uclibc_feature in helper.mk for external uClibc
based toolchains.
The second tells us if the toolchain is ABLE TO provide pthreads debugging
support if threads are enabled, either because it's an internal toolchain
where we can force enable it or an external glibc/eglibc toolchain or
uClibc with the option enabled.
Crosstool-ng forcibly enables this support, so those will always work.
The preconfigured uClibc-based toolchains we have also all enable it.
Finally, show a comment if this isn't the case so the (external toolchain)
user knows why. This is placed outside the choice option, as menuconfig
has a bug where it doesn't show choice selections which only contain
comments.

Now that CodeSourcery has been bought by Mentor Graphics, the
toolchains are named "Sourcery CodeBench". We rename the config short
description and adjust the help text, but we keep the option name in
order not to break existing configurations.

Remove the BR option and enable the configuration setting in the
uClibc defconfigs.
The BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option only adds very little overhead to
uClibc, and we have a number of packages needing it, so simply always
enable it - Simplifying the kconfig logic and the number of choices
users have to make.

Unfortunately, the official Blackfin toolchains are built without the
shadow password support, so our default Busybox configuration fails to
build.
Therefore, we introduce a new hidden knob
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SHADOW_PASSWORDS, which is set to yes for Buildroot
internal toolchain, for toolchains generated by the Crosstool-NG
backend, for Glibc external toolchains and for Uclibc custom external
toolchains. It is left unset by the Blackfin toolchain profile.

The selection of linuxthreads, linuxthreads old or NPTL doesn't make a
lot of sense for external toolchains. So, instead, we :
* Introduce an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option, which must be
selected by toolchain specific options when thread support is
available. Package needing to test thread support should use this
option.
* Move the none/linuxthreads/linuxthreads old/NPTL selection to
Buildroot internal toolchain configuration.
* Add an option in external toolchain to tell if thread support is
available or not in the external toolchain. We assume that glibc
without threads is not possible, as Ulrich Drepper said in
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html
ffmpeg, dmalloc and openvpn are fixed to use the new
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option. For openvpn, --enable-threads=posix
is no longer used, as the configure script doesn't even understand
this option.

Instead of having BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX and BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP, with
BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX not being visible (and therefore being useless),
let's just keep BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP to enable C++ in the toolchain
and install C++ libraries on the target.
We also take that opportunity to make BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP an hidden
option, which is selected by an option in Buildroot toolchain support
or an option in External toolchain support, just as we did for other
toolchain features.
Some work definitely remains to be done :
- The name BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP is ugly, but we keep it for the
moment in order to avoid changing all packages.
- We should clarify the other language-related options (Fortran,
Java, Objective-C, etc.).

Instead of letting the user define all the details of his external
toolchain, we define a set of profiles for well-known external
toolchains (CodeSourcery ones only at the moment, can easily be
extended with other toolchains).
Once a profile has been choosen, the user is offered the choice of
either letting Buildroot download and install the external toolchain,
or (as before) to tell Buildroot where the toolchain is installed on
the system.
We of course provide a "custom profile", through which the user can
configure Buildroot to use a custom external toolchain for which no
profile is available.

Turn BR2_LARGEFILE, BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, BR2_USE_WCHAR,
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE and BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION into hidden options.
Then, for Buildroot toolchains, external toolchains and Crosstool-NG
toolchains, provide visible options that selects the hidden options.
This allows :
* To show a different label and help text in the case of Buildroot
toolchain (do you want to enable feature X ?) and in the case of
external toolchain (is feature X available in your toolchain ?)
* To not show any option when a glibc external toolchain is selected
(since glibc is assumed to support all of largefile, IPv6, RPC,
WCHAR, locale and program invocation) and have them all selected in
that case.
There is some amount of duplication between Buildroot toolchain config
options and Crosstool-NG toolchain config options, because kconfig
doesn't allow to source the same Config.in file twice (even if under
mutually exclusive conditions). This duplication is more readable that
the hack that consists in splitting files in multiple pieces.
However, this commit changes the name of the options visible in the
configuration interface, so existing .config files will have to be
updated accordingly.
