toolchain: rework thread options
The selection of linuxthreads, linuxthreads old or NPTL doesn't make a lot of sense for external toolchains. So, instead, we : * Introduce an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option, which must be selected by toolchain specific options when thread support is available. Package needing to test thread support should use this option. * Move the none/linuxthreads/linuxthreads old/NPTL selection to Buildroot internal toolchain configuration. * Add an option in external toolchain to tell if thread support is available or not in the external toolchain. We assume that glibc without threads is not possible, as Ulrich Drepper said in http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html ffmpeg, dmalloc and openvpn are fixed to use the new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option. For openvpn, --enable-threads=posix is no longer used, as the configure script doesn't even understand this option.
