Add back the patches from zephyr-crosstool-ng-1.25.0 that were missed while porting to crosstool-ng 1.27.0.

In particular, "gdb: Add CT_GDB_CROSS_STATIC_LIBSTDCXX configuration" is absolutely critical in making the GDB executable self-contained on all host systems and usable on Windows.

Also note that the "gdb: Refactor cross GDB build step" patch initially ported by Anas is reverted because it messed up the file indentation by mixing spaces and tabs -- I have done another iteration of this with the correct indentation in this series.

"cross-gdb: Add LZMA support configuration " and "cross-gdb: Add Guile scripting support configuration" are ported as well because they are still relevant and useful. These will be eventually upstreamed.

Verified that the Linux GDB executable no longer links against shared libgcc and libstdc++ after this change:
