toolchain: improve musl check to support static toolchains
The check_musl function currently builds a program and verifies if the
program interpreter starts with /lib/ld-musl. While this works fine
for dynamically linked programs, this obviously doesn't work for a
purely static musl toolchain such as [1].
There is no easy way to identify a toolchain as using the musl C
library. For glibc, dynamic linking is always supported, so we look at
the dynamic linker name. For uClibc, there is a distinctive
uClibc_config.h header file. There is no such distinctive feature in
musl.
We end up resorting to looking for the string MUSL_LOCPATH, which is
used by musl locale_map.c source file. This string has been present in
musl since 2014. It certainly isn't a very stable or convincing
solution to identify the C library as being musl, but it's the best we
could find.
Note that we are sure there is a libc.a file, because the
check_unusable_toolchain function checks that there is a such a file.
