Allow BR2_arm7tdmi to select BR2_BINFMT_FLAT by adding BR2_arm7tdmi to
BR2_BINFMT_FLAT dependency.

Remove BR2_m68k dependency for BR2_BINFMT_FDPIC because m68k does not support
FDPIC.

Also update BR2_BINFMT_ELF dependency to exclude BR2_arm7tdmi. So users of
MMU-capable ARM variants wouldn't be confused by the availability of FLAT and
ELF as binary formats.

This is v2 of "[PATCH 2/2] arch/Config.in: Allow ARM to select BR2_BINFMT_FLAT",
I change the subject line because it actually allows arm7tdmi to select
BR2_BINFMT_FLAT.

The changes in v2:
Add BR2_arm7tdmi rather than BR2_arm to BR2_BINFMT_FLAT dependency.
Remove BR2_m68k dependency for BR2_BINFMT_FDPIC.
Also update BR2_BINFMT_ELF dependency to exclude BR2_arm7tdmi.

Note:
I didn't add BR2_arm_cortex_m3 and BR2_arm_cortex_m4 to the dependency in this
patch because they are not exist in current build system. And I think it's ok
to have an incremental patch for adding them when they are supported by
buildroot.
I think further improvement for using !BR2_USE_MMU dependency suggested by
Thomas Petazzoni or having "ARCH_HAS_MMU and/or ARCH_SUPPORTS_FLAT_BINARY"
suggested by Thomas De Schampheleire can also be in incremental patchs.

Regards,
Axel
