[Buildroot] [git commit] configs: add raspberrypi3 64bits defconfig

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9bbea36e3e6f27475dd8589f087522745aa39aa5
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This configuration builds a 64bit image for RaspberryPi 3.

The size of the ext4 filesystem has to be extended to fit the large amount
(~60MB) of kernel modules enabled in the defconfig.

[Peter: drop gcc version selection / glibc, explain ext4 size requirement]
