From: Alexey Brodkin <Alexey.Brodkin at synopsys.com>

As of today quite a lot of ARC stuff got merged in upsream
such that we may finally use upstream realease for building
and even running Linux kernel and rootfs built with vanilla
binutils.

Essentially upstream release is still a bit behind our
GitHub-based releases but let's try to use vanilla version
and if we're lucky enough with just a small set of back-ported patches
we'll be able to use vanilla release(s) for everything in Buildroot.

Changes v1 -> v2:
 * Use positive logic in binutils.mk for checking if BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_ARC
   set as suggested by Arnout
