config: add an option not to remove the destination directory

In certain circumstances, removing the destination/installation directory
is a bad idea. For example, when the build environment is already taking
care of sanitising the build tree, and pre-installs stuff in there, it is
a very bad idea to remove the destination directory.

This happens now in buildroot, as the crostool-NG backend now installs the
toolchain in the common host-tools directory, and pre-install there a few
host-utilities (eg. host-automake and host-gawk).

Provide a config knob to turn on/off the removal of the destination
directory, defaulting to 'y' (previous behavior), and forced to 'n' when
used as a backend.

      A static cross gdb can be usefull if you debug on a machine that is
yann@1915
    22
      not the one that is used to compile the toolchain.
yann@1915

yann@1915
    24
      That way, you can share the cross-gdb without installing a toolchain
yann@1915
    25
      on every machine that will be used to debug target programs.
