gcc: promote PKGVERSION and BUGURL options to toolchain level

This patch promotes the PKGVERSION and BUGURL options to toolchain level so that
all toolchain components supporting them can benefit from them.

These options are passed to configure through --with-pkgversion and
--with-bugurl.

They are supported by binutils 2.18+, gcc 4.3+, eglibc 2.9+ and gdb 7.0+.
