config: prepare for build-system backend

When acting as a backend for a build-system, we should not build
any application that runs on the target, that is:
- no native gdb
- no companion libraries
- no binutils libraries
- no debug tools (save for gdbserver)
- ...

Here, we simply prepare the (hidden) config option that will detect
that we are acting as a back-end.

Update doc accordingly.

      'Bare metal' refers to those programs that run without any kernel.

      though, because the APCI stuff relies on the target C library headers
