[Buildroot] Autobuilder updates

Hello,
A few news from the autobuilders setup:
* Increased the timeout for builds from 4 hours to 8 hours, in an
attempt to reduce the number of bogus build results simply hitting
the timeout. This will require people running autobuilder instances
to update their scripts, which might take a little bit of time (they
have been notified).
* Removed the musl based toolchain configuration from the
autobuilders, for the duration of the stabilization phase. Musl is
still causing build issues with a very large number of packages,
causing quite a bit of noise in the build results. Such noise
doesn't make the stabilization effort easy, and the musl support is
still marked as experimental in Buildroot so it's an acceptable
trade-off. The musl based configuration will be re-enabled once
2015.05 is released, and provided enough work is done on musl
support in the 2015.08 cycle, we'll keep this toolchain
configuration in the autobuilders (and possibly add some more to
test other architectures than ARM)
* Re-enabled gcc75 as an autobuilder instance.
* Merged some pending patches from Samuel Martin, which will include
CMake related log files in the build results when the build failure
occurs in a CMake package (similar to what we have been doing with
saving config.log for autotools packages).
Best regards,
Thomas
