[Buildroot] [PATCH] gdb: enable tui support for target package

From: Vincent Stehlé <vincent.stehle at laposte.net>

Add a configuration option to compile the gdb target package with the
--enable-tui switch.

This is done pretty much in the same way as in commit 2474fb0bf1a7 ("host-gdb:
enable terminal user interface support"), but for the gdb package on target.

This makes sense only when a full debugger is installed on target,
not for a gdbserver.
