[scarthgap PATCH 6/7] external-arm-toolchain: override dynamic loader path with usrmerge enabled

usrmerge nowaday required by systemd [1] but it broke
external-arm-toolchain in several ways...

When usrmerge is enabled, /lib is no longer part of SYSROOT_DIRS list
while the prebuilt toolchain expect the dynamic loader to be placed in
/lib not /usr/lib.

There is no /lib directory in the per-package sysroot directory
generated to build each package:

  [...]/build/tmp/sysroots-components/<target>/<package>/
  sysroot-providers/ usr/

But the cross-compiler still generate binaries with dynamic loarder
path set to "/lib/ld-linux-<target>.so*"

  strings sanitycheckc_cross.exe | grep ld
  /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1

A symlink /lib -> /usr/lib is crated in the final rootfs image.

But this broke the meson-qemuwrapper used when "qemu-usermode"
(MACHINE_FEATURES) is available:

See [2]:
  do_write_config:append:class-target() {
       # Write out a qemu wrapper that will be used as exe_wrapper so that meson
       # can run target helper binaries through that.
       qemu_binary="${@qemu_wrapper_cmdline(d, '$STAGING_DIR_HOST', ['$STAGING_DIR_HOST/${libdir}','$STAGING_DIR_HOST/${base_libdir}'])}"

It produce a runtime issue while running a meson sanity check:

  meson-qemuwrapper [...]/build/meson-private/sanitycheckc_cross.exe

  qemu-aarch64: Could not open '/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1': No such file or directory

Note: The binaries build by the Yocto internal toolchain seems be "patched" [3]
to look at /usr/lib instead of /lib.

We use -Wl,--dynamic-linker to make sure that the cross-compiler
generate binaries using the dynamic loader path defined by usrmerge
for all packages build by Yocto.
