This commit updates the documentation to detail when and how to use
the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_x dependency. Note that we chose to not add
a comment about this dependency, because it is mainly tied to
architecture capabilities (except in very specific cases, which would
be way too complicated to explain in a Config.in comment).
