[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/6] toolchain helpers: clarify rsync excludes in copy_toolchain_sysroot

[Thomas De Schampheleire <patrickdepinguin@gmail.com>]

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de_schampheleire@nokia.com>

The copy_toolchain_sysroot helper features a complex rsync loop that copies
various directories from the extracted toolchain to the staging directory.
The complexity mainly stems from the fact that we support multilib toolchain
tarballs but only copy one of the multilib variants into staging.

Increase understandability of this logic by explicitly restricting the
rsync excludes to the iteration of the for loop they are relevant for.
Additionally, update the function comment.

Note: all attempts to reduce duplication between both rsync while keeping
things nice and readable failed. One has to be extremely careful regarding
line continuation, indentation, and single vs double quoting. In the end, a
split up rsync seemed most clean.
