Patch for supporting relative toolchain path

It would be nice if it was possible to enter paths relative to the buildroot
directory for things like the external toolchain path.
So one could create an archive of toolchain+buildroot+.config file, transfer
that to a different computer, and have "make" just work without having to
change settings.

This is something you can already do today:

BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH="$(TOPDIR)/../../x-tools/linaro-2012.09/"

Just tested, it works.

I'm marking this bug as "works for me", but if you believe the proposed
solution is not appropriate, do not hesitate to re-open the bug and add more
details.
