tools build: Display logical OR of a feature flavors

Sometimes, features are simply different flavors of another feature, to
properly detect the exact dependencies needed by different Linux
distributions.

For example, libbfd has three flavors: libbfd if the distro does not
require any additional dependency; libbfd-liberty if it requires libiberty;
libbfd-liberty-z if it requires libiberty and libz.

It might not be clear to the user whether a feature has been successfully
detected or not, given that some of its flavors will be set to OFF, others
to ON.

Instead, display only the feature main flavor if not in verbose mode
(VF != 1), and set it to ON if at least one of its flavors has been
successfully detected (logical OR), OFF otherwise. Omit the other flavors.

Accomplish that by declaring a FEATURE_GROUP_MEMBERS-<feature main flavor>
variable, with the list of the other flavors as variable value. For now, do
it just for libbfd.

In verbose mode, of if no group is defined for a feature, show the feature
detection result as before.
