Ross Burton 03af0c72f1 arm-toolchain: remove external-arm-toolchain ...

Integrating the binary Arm GCC toolchain into OE is quite complicated
because the binary release and oe-core's toolchain are arranged slightly
differently, which makes it quite fragile.

As it's obviously a binary release we cannot patch it to fix issues.

Also it has some fairly sizable limitations: for example the kernel
headers are old (from linux 4.19) and the locale packaging is different
so locale package dependencies don't work.

The main historic users of the external toolchain no longer use it, so
remove it.  The recipes will remain in the LTS branches for users who
are using it currently, but will not be part of the next release.
