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.

      This is usefull if your project is self-contained, does not rely on

     9
      an external C library, and provides all the necessary bits.

      Most probably usefull to bootloaders, as they generally don't depend

    12
      on the C library.

      If unsure: do *not* choose that, and use another option in the choice.
