[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] ccache: allow dynamic selection of cache directory

The existing ccache infrastructure sets the cache directory hardcoded in the
ccache binary. As this directory was set to ~/.buildroot-ccache, the cache
is not necessarily local (e.g. in corporate environments the home directories
may be mounted over NFS.)
Previous versions of buildroot did allow to set the cache directory, but this
was also hardcoded (so you had to rebuild ccache to change it), plus that
support was removed.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/044511.html for
a discussion on this.
This patch introduces a ccache wrapper script that uses a shell variable
(exported from the Makefile and coming from .config) to set the right
CCACHE_DIR.
Additionally it migrates the COMPILERCHECK setting to the wrapper script
as well.

v2: Update based on Arnout's comments: move compilercheck to wrapper, move
wrapper to version-controlled file instead of generating it, use exec,
rename cache_dir variable, fix whitespace.
