[Buildroot] [git commit] arch: add option to disable internal toolchain backend

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=31a726122f6bf07b56341144465964fe342ec614
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Some architectures or specific cores do not have support in upstream
gcc. Currently, they are individually listed as exclusions in the
toolchain choice.

This poses a maintainance burden, as the knowledge about what gcc
version supports what architecture is split across many places: the
toolchain choice, the gcc version choice, the external toolchains.

As a first step, add a blind option that architectures or individual
cores may select to indicate they lack support in our internal backend.

Actual use of the option will come in followup patches.
