[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 5/8] support/download: add possibility to not fail on missing hash

[Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>

In very constrained cases, it might be needed to not fail if a hash is
missing. This is notably the case for custom external toolchains to be
downloaded, because we do have a .hash file for external toolchains,
but we obviously can not have hashes for all existing custom toolchains
(he, "custom"!).

So, add a way to avoid failing in that case.

>From the Makefile, we export the list of files for which not to check
the hash. Then, from the check-hash script, if no check was done, and
the file we were trying to match in in this exclusion list, we just exit
without error.
