I think the idea is that since the Buildroot.cmake platform files gets
referenced by the toolchainfile.cmake, then Buildroot.cmake anyway
needs to be installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share/buildroot, so we can
just as well point CMake to this place.

No: copying the file is needed, otherwise our toolchainfile.cmake file
no longer works for people using it outside of Buildroot.
