It turns out buildroot does not currently accept a toolchain where a dynamic
linker does not reside in the multi-os-directory. Unfortunately this is
how glibc installs itself on AArch64 without any extra tricks.
So, provide an option to force everything into /lib or /usr/lib; patch to
buildroot will be worked on separately.

Same as the base release as long as they applied.
MUSL patches didn't, removed.
Also, unobsolete Linaro GCC5 now that they rolled out a new release.

Some software starts to adopt xz-only distribution (strace,
gcc-linaro, ...). Better that than deal with cryptic errors like
"cannot find strace-.tar.bz2".

Loading a dynamic library (LTO plugin) from a static binary fails
on ArchLinux. It is also prone to break if a system is ever upgraded.
Also, disable plugins if not enabled explicitly.

Hence, it is better to enforce via config rules: elf2flt does not
play nice with ld wrapper, when both ld.bfd and ld.gold are present.
Limit the choices to just 'ld.bfd' for flat-format architectures.

Add patches for versions that didn't have them - patches updated/retired
as necessary.
Also, disallow 2.12.2 for architectures in ports - this version did not have
ports addon.

This partially reverts commit 88e8852ccd.
Bring back releases 2.12 and newer of glibc, along with the associated
Kconfig machinery. Simplify it slightly.
... these are apparently not needed with the current kconfig and only
result in warnings like "SYMBOL changed state" and "reassigning SYMBOL".
Perhaps, it was necessary to run kconfig without first generating
config.gen? But now all the targets that invoke $(CONF) have
`config_files` as a dependency.
