Since glibc 2.33 (upstream commit
7a55dd3fb6d2c307a002a16776be84310b9c8989), headers >= 5.4.0 are needed
to build glibc for RISC-V 32-bit. Indeed
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/riscv/configure.ac contains:

if test $libc_cv_riscv_int_abi = ilp32; then
  arch_minimum_kernel=5.4.0
fi

In order to take into account this dependency, we add the appropriate
logic in package/glibc/Config.in and
toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in.

This change means that if headers < 5.4.0 are selected, then no C
library at all will be available for RISC-V 32-bit, as glibc is the
only C library supporting RISC-V 32-bit currently. However, thanks to
the recent addition of BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_NONE, the
choice...endchoice for the C library selection will not be empty,
allowing the user to see the Config.in comment explaining why glibc
can't be selected.

Therefore, technically this commit does prevent from creating a
configuration with RISC-V 32-bit and headers < 5.4.0, but it will have
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_NONE=y, which is catched by
package/Makefile.in, which aborts the build early on pointing out that
the configuration is invalid.
