configure: Add --with-gperf option

On OS X, Apple supply an old gperf (3.0.3) with xcode and
xcode commandline tools which causes build failures:

./zconf.hash.c:183:17: error: expected expression
{offsetof(struct kconf_id_strings_t, kconf_id_strings_str2),

.. upgrading to gperf 3.0.4 was sufficient to fix this,
so this option allows the user to specify the gperf
program that they wish to use.

To install gperf 3.0.4 from homebrew, I did:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install homebrew/dupes/gperf

.. then passed --with-gperf=$BREWFIX/Cellar/gperf/3.0.4/bin/gperf
to configure

     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 (?)
