toolchain/external: remove Linaro armeb toolchain

This toolchain is more than 7 years old now, and not maintained anymore.
Let's therefore remove it from Buildroot. There are still some
alternatives in-tree, such as Bootlin toolchains

-	  Linaro toolchain for the ARM big endian architecture. It
-	  uses Linaro GCC 2018.05 (based on gcc 7.3.1), Linaro GDB
-	  2018.05 (based on GDB 8.1), glibc 2.25, Binutils 2018.05
-	  (based on 2.28). It generates code that runs on all Cortex-A
-	  profile devices, but tuned for the Cortex-A9. The code
-	  generated is Thumb 2, with the hard floating point calling
-	  convention, and uses the VFPv3-D16 FPU instructions.
