scripts/libc: do not build add-ons by default

Currently, no --enable-add-ons option is passed to libc configure when
"$(do_libc_add_ons_list ,)" is empty, which makes configure automatically search
for present add-ons. In that case, all present add-ons are built, although
no add-on was selected by the user in the config. Moreover, this can make the
configure fail if some non-standard add-ons like eglibc-localedef are present.

This behavior also leads to an inconsistency from a user point of view between
the following cases:
- LIBC_ADDONS_LIST="", LIBC_GLIBC_USE_PORTS=n and THREADS="none" in the config,
which makes "$(do_libc_add_ons_list ,)" return "", so all present add-ons
are built.
- LIBC_ADDONS_LIST="", LIBC_GLIBC_USE_PORTS=n and THREADS!="none" in the
config, which makes "$(do_libc_add_ons_list ,)" return the add-on supporting
the chosen threading implementation, e.g. "nptl", so only this add-on is
built.

This patch disables the building of all add-ons in that case.

It is still possible to build all present add-ons by adding --enable-add-ons to
LIBC_GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY.

     1 This is a somewhat ordered TODO list:
     2 
     3 Recurring tasks:
     4 
     5 - update versions for every tools...
     6 
     7 - update and/or upgrade all samples
     8 
     9 
    10 Non-recurring tasks:
    11 
    12 - update newlib (for enhanced bare metal)
    13   - confirm existing implementation on targets other than AVR32
    14   - try to make it generic, will help for uClibc++
    15 
    16 - multilib
    17 
    18 - Cygwin target (needs newlib)
    19   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Cygwin
    20 
    21 - Cygwin host
    22   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Cygwin
    23 
    24 - mingw32 target
    25   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Win32
    26 
    27 - mingw32 host
    28   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Win32
    29     (without requiring Cygwin)
    30 
    31 - uClibc++
    32   - see newlib, above
    33 
    34 - uClinux
    35   - check whether we can use newlib under uClinux (?)
