Add --enable-first-stage-cross configure option

Build static-only, C-only compiler that is sufficient to cross compile
glibc.  This option disables various runtime libraries that require
libc to compile, turns on --with-newlib, --without-headers,
--disable-decimal-float, --disable-shared, --disable-threads, and sets
--enable-languages=c.
    
Rationale: current way of building first stage compiler of a cross
toolchain requires specifying a list of target libraries that are not
going to be compiled due to their dependency on target libc.  This
list is not documented in gccinstall.texi and sometimes changes.  To
simplify the procedure, it is better to maintain that list in the GCC
itself.

Usage example as a patch to glibc's scripts/build-many-libcs.py:

             cfg_opts += self.first_gcc_cfg


Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, and
tested with build-many-glibcs.py with the above patch.

OK for mainline?
