buildman: Add the option to download toolchains from kernel.org
The site at https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ is a convenient
repository of toolchains which can be used for U-Boot. Add a feature to
download and install a toolchain for a selected architecture automatically.
It isn't clear how long this site will stay in the current place and
format, but we should be able to rely on bug reports if it changes.

+
+You can download toolchains and update the [toolchain] section of the

+
+To make this easier, buildman can automatically download and install
+toolchains from kernel.org. First list the available architectures:
+
+$ ./tools/buildman/buildman sandbox --fetch-arch list
+Checking: https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/4.6.3/

+sparc sparc64 tilegx x86_64 xtensa

+Tool chain test: OK
+
+Buildman should now be set up to use your new toolchain.
+
+At the time of writing, U-Boot has these architectures:
+
+ arc, arm, avr32, blackfin, m68k, microblaze, mips, nds32, nios2, openrisc
+ powerpc, sandbox, sh, sparc, x86
+
+Of these, only arc, microblaze and nds32 are not available at kernel.org..
