[Buildroot] [PATCH] arch/or1k: fix uClibc issues with fenv enabled

[Waldemar Brodkorb]

OpenRISC architecture can be either soft-float or hard-float, so add the
ability to the user to configure it.

GNU libc has hard-float support since 03 May 2024, see here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/glibc-cvs/2024q2/085211.html
There fenv functions f.e. were added to glibc.

uClibc-ng has added fenv functions in commit 8a77b4785acd143d76ccc08142abb39c0100de3d
on 27 April 2025.

musl does not have any or1k architecture specific fenv support.

Tested with all 6 combinations of C libraries and float configurations.

For uClibc-ng fenv support was enabled by commit 4c5039b80ebbe42db35af189afcff7fb7d5cace6
in Buildroot for any hard-float toolchain, so we now need to pass
-mhard-float to gcc compiler to get the predefined preprocessor macro __or1k_hard_float__,
which exposes _FPU_FPCSR_RM_MASK.
