If exception support is disabled in IDF, and libstdc++ tries to throw
an exception, it will call __cxa_allocate_exception which is replaced
with abort in IDF.
We have a dramatically size reduction of the RO-section in binary when using '__throw_'-stubs in GCC5
In the case of using GCC8, we are faced with 'multiple definition' errors when using '__throw_'-stubs.
Good that we don't have the size problem due to gcc8
* Philosophical: "explicit is better than implicit".
* Practical: Allows useful errors if invalid directories given in components as the defaults aren't
always used. Also trims the -I path from a number of components that have no actual include
directory.
* Simplifies knowing which components will be header-only and which won't
disabled
The misssing stubs get pulled in from the toolchain's libstdc++ also
causing to pull in defined stubs. This results in redefinition of
symbols. Fixing it by simply adding the missing stubs when exceptions
are disabled.

For config-only components, component.mk should now contain "COMPONENT_CONFIG_ONLY := 1"
Also refactored some of the generation of linker paths, library list. This required cleaning up the way the bootloader
project works, it's now mostly independent from the parent.
