scripts/functions: test for decompressors before use

./configure does check for the presence of gz and bzip2, so we can
safely use them in the build scripts.

On the other hand, more recent formats (eg. XZ) are not yet widely
available, and we do not want, and can't, force the user to install
them as a pre-requisite.

So, build up a list of allowed tarball formats based on the available
decompressors. For no, this is a static list, but the upcoming XZ
support will conditionnaly add to this list.

     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 (?)
