Config.in: introduce the BR2_BROKEN hidden symbol

Commit [1]
"toolchain/toolchain-external/toolchain-external-synopsys-arc: mark
as broken" disabled BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_SYNOPSYS_ARC by adding a
depends on BR2_BROKEN. This symbol does not exist and generates
check-symbol failures, see [2].

This commit fixes this issue by introducing the BR2_BROKEN hidden symbol
that will be used to track those known to be broken features. This
symbol will help to track features that were broken for too long and
remove them.

Fixes: [2]
