legal-info: allow to declare the actual sources for binary packages

The FOO_SITE/FOO_SOURCE variables usually point to a tarball containing
source code.

For the downloaded external toolchains this is not true, the "source"
tarball actually contains binaries. This is fine for making Buildroot
work, but for legal-info we really want to ship real source code, not
binaries.

Luckily, some (hopefully all) toolchain vendors publish a downloadable
tarball containing the source code counterpart for their binary
packages.

Here we allow the user to declare the URL of this other tarball in the
pair of variables FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TARBALL (by default equal to
FOO_SOURCE) and FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_SITE (by default equal to FOO_SITE).
If the "actual source" package can be downloaded from the same
directory as the binary package, then only FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TARBALL
needs to be set.

Note this change is not strictly toolchain-specific: it might be useful
for other packages that happen to ship binaries in the same way.

[Thomas:
  - remove "the source code has not been saved" warning that could
    never be triggered due to how the conditions were
    organized. Discussed with Luca live during the meeting.]
