add new ADK Symbol PKG_NEEDS
There are a lot of packages which needs special features either toolchain or hardware features. Add a new symbol which will be used to disable packages, when a toolchain for example does not provide this feature. At the moment following features are required to set for a package: threads rt c++. There will follow: mmu iconv. This will help to better support targets without MMU or threading support.
