The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a
specificity of the toolchain, but rather of the architecture.
So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations
can select. This in turn selects the current toolchain atomic option,
until all packages have been converted, at which point the old
toolchain option can be removed.

GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

As ARC support is not yet in all upstream packages, a different location is
required to download the packages from. This adds an option to specify a
site for ARC-specific versions of packages such as binutils, gcc.
When ARC support has been upstreamed for all packages, this option can be
removed again.
