This change switches ARC tools to the most recent arc-2016.03
version.
ARC GNU tools of version arc-2016.03 bring some quite significant
changes like:
* Binutils v2.26+ (upstream commit id 202ac19 with additional ARC
* patches)
* GCC v4.8.5
* GDB 7.10
More about changes, improvements and fixes could be found here:

Note in this change we're adding sha512 checksums for
both binutils and gcc tarballs fetched from GitHub.
Build and run-tested in nSIM for both ARC700 and ARC HS38.

Now that we have added support for the lastest binutils version 2.26,
it is time to remove the oldest version we currently support, 2.23, in
order to keep only 3 versions: 2.24, 2.25 and 2.26.

This change switches ARC tools to RC2 of the most recent arc-2016.03
version.
Essentially once final release is ready version will be bumped again.

Also in this change we realign custom Buildroot patches for binutils and
gcc for ARC tools. Looks like earlier most of arch-independent patches
for binutils and gcc were either unintentionally removed or not even
added in patch folders for ARC's binutils and gcc. Now arch-independent
patches for binutils-2.26 and gcc-4.8.5 were added in
package/{binutils|gcc}/arc-2016.03-rc2 folders.
Build and run-tested in nSIM for both ARC700 and ARC HS38.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.
