scripts/functions: simplify wget vs. curl check

config: fix generated config files when GREP_OPTIONS set --color=always

grep is used when generating some .in files (in config.gen). If GREP_OPTIONS
contains --color=always, then the generated files will contains some escape
sequences setting the color, and mconf would choke on those escape sequences.

Always set and export an empty GREP_OPTIONS to avoid that.

scripts: check for, and warn about an unset CT_PREFIX_DIR

The user shall provide a directory to install the toolchain into.
If he/she does not, this is an error, and shall be detected properly,
rather than relying on failure down the road.

scripts: correctly warn when the local tarballs directory does not exist

Warn about a missing local tarball directory, only if it was configured.
Avoid the spurious message:
Directory '${CT_LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR}' does not exist.
Will not save downloaded tarballs to local storage.

configure: install in a sub-dir of --libdir and --docdir

In case the user specifies the LIBDIR with --libdir , or DOCDIR with
--docdir, install our support files in a sub-dir, so as not to mangle
existing (potentially system) files/dirs.

scripts: directly spit-out the date in the WiKi table, misc eye-candy

No need to go through a post-processing just for displaying the date...
