Some packages build C++ 32bits host-tools and need the g++-multilib to
be installed on the build machine. As example, qt5webengine builds a C++
host-tool when target is 32bits.

Add the check for g++-multilib to the dependencies script; and update
the Dockerfile to install g++-multilib package.

There are two solutions to solve this issue:

The first one consists in checking for g++-multilib when the config
option BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER is set; even if it is not
required. The implementation is simple (see patch below).

The second solution consists in creating a new config option for
packages that needs g++-multilib to be installed. As example:
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_CXX_COMPILER is a good candidate. [For a matter
of consistency, I would also rename BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_COMPILER into
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_C_COMPILER (adding C_); but I do not want to do
that to not break existing configurations that are no in-tree].

Which solution do you prefer?

Change since v1:
 - Use proper c++ value for option -x (cpp does not exist).
 - Use g++ compiler instead of gcc.
