Makefile, docs/manual, support, toolchain: remove Eclipse integration

Browse Source 
Back many years ago, we developed an Eclipse plugin that simplified
the usage of Buildroot toolchains. Enabling the BR2_ECLIPSE_REGISTER=y
was registering the Buildroot toolchain into a special file in your
HOME folder that the Eclipse plugin would recognize to allow to
directly use the Buildroot cross-compiler.

This Eclipse plugin has not been maintained for years. The last commit
in the repository dates back from September 2017. Since then Eclipse
has moved on, and the plugin is no longer compatible with current
versions of Eclipse.

Also, Eclipse is probably no longer that widely used in the embedded
Linux space, as other more modern IDEs have become more popular.

All in all, it's time to say good bye to this Eclipse integration.

=== Integration with Eclipse
While a part of the embedded Linux developers like classical text
editors like Vim or Emacs, and command-line based interfaces, a number
of other embedded Linux developers like richer graphical interfaces to
do their development work. Eclipse being one of the most popular
Integrated Development Environment, Buildroot integrates with Eclipse
in order to ease the development work of Eclipse users.
Our integration with Eclipse simplifies the compilation, remote
execution and remote debugging of applications and libraries that are
built on top of a Buildroot system. It does not integrate the
Buildroot configuration and build processes themselves with
Eclipse. Therefore, the typical usage model of our Eclipse integration
would be:
* Configure your Buildroot system with +make menuconfig+, +make
xconfig+ or any other configuration interface provided with
Buildroot.
* Build your Buildroot system by running +make+.
* Start Eclipse to develop, execute and debug your own custom
applications and libraries, that will rely on the libraries built
and installed by Buildroot.
The Buildroot Eclipse integration installation process and usage is
described in detail at
https://github.com/mbats/eclipse-buildroot-bundle/wiki.
