arch/arch.mk.xtensa: relax check on overlay file to apply only to internal toolchains
Commit 4cbf7336 ("arch/xtensa: custom configuration requires an overlay") added a check in arch/arch.mk.xtensa to bail out if a custom Xtensa core is selected but not overlay file is provided. While this is indeed a perfectly valid check to make when building an internal toolchain, with an external toolchain it's entirely possible to build with no overlay file: the toolchain already exists, and there's no overlay to be applied in the context of the Buildroot build. And indeed commit 4cbf7336 broke some of the runtime test cases that use a custom Xtensa core configuration, with no overlay, to test the toolchains.bootlin.com Xtensa external toolchain. By relaxing the check to only apply to internal toolchain configurations, we fix those test cases. It is to be noted that this still allows a configuration where gdb gets built for a custom core, but with no overlay, so basically that means the fsf variant, which can lead to build or run failures that 4cbf7336 attempted to fix to begin with. This still covers the most common cases. Finally, it also means being able to build a kernel with no overlay, but this is offset by the fact that the kernel may be already patched with an overlay (as it is possible to specify a custom kernel), which is most probably what people using a custom core would have.
