804afb81fa toolchain/clang: Add clang specific sysroot dependencies
Add clang-cross to sysroot via POPULATESYSROOTDEPS to get llvm tools
e.g. llvm-strip, llvm-nm etc when they are used at default STRIP/NM etc.

736521296c clang: Add libcxx to default base dependencies
When TC_CXX_RUNTIME is set to be 'llvm' then clang looks for
libcxx to provide C++ runtime and unwinding library

d58d212bb5 toolchain/gcc/clang: Update PREFERRED_PROVIDER to work with multilibs
As currently written, the PREFERRED_PROVIDER entries don't work with multilib
since they are added after the manipulations by multilib_global at ConfigParsed
time. We therefore need to spell out the configs correctly for multilib.

To avoid variable overwritten warnings from the expansion, we then have to
expand out the nativesdk providers usng class overrides.

5317a214c5 toolchain: Provide abstraction for recipe specific toolchain selection
This change implements a toolchain selection mechanism. Selection is
made using a set of variables, primarily PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_TARGET which
defaults to gcc.

It uses the familiar name for toolchain e.g. "gcc" which selects GNU
compiler + binutils as default C/C++ toolchain or "clang" which will
use LLVM/Clang Compiler. Layers an add their own toolchain definitions
too.

There are also PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_NATIVE and PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_SDK
which will ulitmately allow selection of the toolchain used for the
native/cross and nativesdk/crosssdk compilers. This currently isn't
functional but is essential to the patch to ensure things are set
to the existing gcc support in those cases.

Users would most commonly want to set:

PREFERRED_TOOLCHAIN_TARGET ?= "clang"

in local.conf or other distro specific global configuration metadata.

It is also selectable at recipe scope, since not all packages are
buildable with either clang or gcc, a recipe can explicitly require
a given toolchain using the TOOLCAHIN variable, e.g. glibc can not
be built with clang therefore glibc recipe sets:

TOOLCHAIN = "gcc"

The TOOLCHAIN variable is distinct from the user preference so recipes
with specific requirements can be identified. This also allows different
polcies to be be specified for native/SDK cases in the future.
