[PATCH v2 17/21] gcc-plugins: always build plugins with C++

[Masahiro Yamada]

If the target compiler is GCC 4.8 or newer, plugins are compiled with
HOSTCXX.  Otherwise, gcc-plugin.sh will select HOSTCC or HOSTCXX.

To simplify things, drop the HOSTCC support for plugins.  If you use
GCC plugins, the requirement for the target compiler is GCC 4.8 (or
older compiler with necessary features backported).  This is a feature
for advanced users, so this requirement would not be a big deal.
Currently, building plugins requires GCC 4.5, so this is not a big jump.

Remove the code that was needed to build plugins with HOSTCC as a
preparation for Kconfig migration.
