[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] kvm-unit-tests: test for rdseed/rdrand

The build fails when the host binutils isn't at least 2.23
(2.22.x introduced RDSEED).

The host toolchain is used for x86_64 target builds where
we need to do a 32bit build. Most other buildroot builds
are using a much newer binutils unless it's a external
older toolchain.

Thomas/Peter could you test this on one of your builders?
I've requested a gcc farm account but still waiting at this
point.  Here's the builders which can reproduce the failure
(ie have old enough host binutils).

Changes v1 -> v2
[Thomas
 - Suggested a configure check vs the original revert of
   the upstream commit which added these instructions to the package.
