PATCH v2 1/1 toolchain-external-custom: allow specifying relative path to binaries

There are cases where a downloaded toolchain doesn't have its binaries placed directly in a "bin" subfolder (where BuildRoot currently looks for them).

A common example is the official Raspberry Pi Toolchain
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools), which has its binaries in "arm-bcm2708/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin".

This commit introduces BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_REL_BIN_PATH that defaults to "bin" and can be changed as needed.

This can be achieved without the if-block:

I prefer that last solution (even if it's the same number os lines)...
