cc/gcc: add the backend/frontend infra for final gcc

Currently, we issue the bare-metal compiler from the pass_1 & pass_2
core compilers, because the final gcc breaks while doing so.

This implies we have to build some libces during the start_files step,
instead of the standard libc step. This is the case for newlib.

By adding a backend/frontend infra to the final gcc, we can abstract
what backend to call: the standard backend for non-bare-metal gcc,
and the core backend for bare-metal.

This patch is just an no-op, it just adds the final backend and
frontend without changing the way bare-metal is built, to come in a
subsequent patch.

     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 (?)
