scripts/functions: cvs retrieval first tries the mirror for tarballs

The cvs download helper looks for the local tarballs dir to see if it
can find a pre-downloaded tarball, and if it does not find it, does
the actual fetch to upstream via cvs.

In the process, it does not even try to get a tarball from the local
mirror, which can be useful if the mirror has been pre-populated
manually (or with a previously downloaded tree).

Fake a tarball get with the standard tarball-download helper, but
without specifying any upstream URL, which makes the helper directly
try the LAN mirror.

Of course, if no mirror is specified, no URL wil be available, and
the standard cvs retrieval will kick in.

configure: do not require svn

svn is needed to download eglibc from the upstream repository.
In some situations, though, it can happen that:
- the developpers' machines do not have svn
- a LAN mirror has been set-up with pre-downloaded eglibc tarballs
In this case, it makes sense not to hard-depend on svn.

So, if svn is missing, just say so, and add a comment in the
menuconfig.

scripts/functions: if no upstream URL is given, silently ignore that

When retrieving tarballs from upstream, if no URL was given, do not
fail; simmply ignore that fact.

This will be used later when the SVN helper will call the standard
helper to try the LAN mirror before trying svn.

libc: remove unneeded glibc/eglibc common functions

do_libc_locales_extract() and do_libc_locales() in glibc-eglibc.sh-common have
been overridden for both glibc and eglibc, so they can now be removed, which
this patch does.

libc/glibc: add partial support for locales

This patch adds partial support for glibc locales.

For now, it only generates the appropriate locales when the host and the target
have the same endianness and uint32_t alignment.
