scripts/populate: properly locate the sysroot and required tools

This fixes two problems:
- the sysroot might be in a sub-directory (think SYSROOT_DIR_PREFIX)
- it is not needed to have the target tuple to properly detect the sysroot
and the required tools

As a side effect, this script is now no longer dependent on the target
tuple, and in the future, we might be able to share it across many
toolchains (when/if we can install all of them in the same place).

This is NOT the official version of dialog.  This version has been

significantly modified from the original.  It is for use by the Linux

kernel configuration script.  Please do not bother Savio Lam with 

questions about this program.
