libc/newlib: add a config option allowing to disable builtin syscalls
Allows to choose if one wants to keep or not the syscalls that are provided with
newlib. It passes the --disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls or
--enable-newlib-supplied-syscalls to the configure script. If one chooses to
disable the builtin syscalls, he/she will have to write his/her own. This can
be usefull to port newlib to a new platform/board.

configure: check for lzma
Some packages are available as LZMA tarballs. LZMA is a relatively recent
compression algorithm; it's slightly better than bzip2, but offers much
faster decompression. LZMA is now deprecated in favor of XZ, but some
packages switched to LZMA when XZ was not yet available, or still in its
infancy. Latest XZ (which totaly obsoletes LZMA) offers a backward LZMA-
compatible utility, so we can check for 'lzma' nonetheless.

scripts/functions: use array variables for URLs list
This is needed later, when we'll conditionnally use both the
upstream and the mirror URLs.

scripts/functions: always prefer the mirror
Currently, the mirror can be used either:
- as a fallback in case upstream is unavailable (default behavior)
- as the preferred source for downloads
But the most common use-case seems to provide a truely-LAN mirror
to speed up downloads in big corpos', and/or provide a 'trusted'
source for the tarballs.
So, make the following changes;
- if a mirror is specified, always try that before trying upstream

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.
