[Buildroot] [PATCH v4] package/rt-tests: add support to build without numactl

[Andreas Klinger]

rt-tests don't show up in config menu and is not build if
BR2_PACKAGE_NUMACTL_ARCH_SUPPORTS is not available on the target
architecture. In such a case numactl is also not available what applies for
most small embedded targets.

This dependency was introduced with commit 7f50cbfb800e
("package/rt-tests: bump to version 1.8")

But rt-tests can also be build without numactl when passing NUMA=0 to make.
This possibility is documented on
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/documentation/howto/tools/rt-tests

Change Config.in and makefile to build without numactl by passing NUMA=0.

Changes in v4:
- make numactl an optional dependency.

Changes in v3:
- make use of numactl dependency only if BR2_PACKAGE_NUMACTL_ARCH_SUPPORTS
  is set.

Changes in v2:
- Thanks to the review of Baruch patch is simplified and directly disabling
  NUMA by querying for !BR2_PACKAGE_NUMACTL_ARCH_SUPPORTS.
