PPL: Remove support for PPL and CLooG/PPL
Now that versions of gcc that required PPL are no longer supported ( >= gcc-4.5.x AND <= gcc-4.7.x ) ...we no longer require PPL or CLooG/PPL. This commit: * Removes PPL * Removes CLooG/PPL * Updates the documentation * Updates build script for CLooG and GCC * Removes PPL and CLooG/PPL from scripts/addToolVersion.sh and scripts/showSamples.sh * Adds ISL to scripts/addToolVersion.sh and scripts/showSamples.sh I know that sounds like a lot for one commit, but it was all kind of inter-tangled.

This is why crosstool-NG builds its own set of libraries as part of the
toolchain.
