[Buildroot] [PATCH 5 of 6 resend] toolchain-external: allow downloading a custom toolchain

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

This patch adds the possibility to download a custom external
toolchain, in addition to the existing support of preinstalled custom
external toolchains.

With the modified configuration, the user is presented with the
following options:
- Toolchain type: Buildroot toolchain | External toolchain | Ct-ng toolchain

In case of External toolchain:
- Toolchain: the CodeSourcery toolchains | Custom toolchain
- Toolchain origin: Toolchain to be downloaded and installed | Pre-installed toolchain

In case of Toolchain to be downloaded, the user is presented with:
- Toolchain URL
In case of Pre-installed toolchain, the users sees:
- Toolchain Path

For CodeSourcery toolchains, the toolchain URL field is not used (the
URLs are directly coded in ext-tool.mk).

This feature was proposed previously [1] with some comments by Thomas
Petazzoni. At that time, the proposed split was to have 'custom pre-
installed toolchain' and 'custom downloadable toolchain' sit alongside
the CodeSourcery ones, as such providing a clear distinction between
pre-installed and downloaded custom toolchains. However, during
implementation I felt that this structure makes the code more complex
than it needs to be and so I choose for an alternative solution that
IMO still creates a clear distinction. Any comments are of course
welcome.
