support/testing: TestZfsUclibc: use internal backend for uClibc-ng toolchain

As reported on the mailing list [1] while investigating the
TestZfsUclibc Gitlab-CI failure, the python 3.13 interpreter itsef
segfault at runtime:

  Fatal Python error: _PyThreadState_Attach: non-NULL old thread state
  Python runtime state: preinitialized
  Thread 0xSegmentation fault

This issue is related to the python 3.13 version bump [2] were several
internal changes were added [3] to support PEP 703 [4].
PEP 793 is about CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) removal
for multi-threads support that requires a working C11 "thread_local"
for thread-local storage [5].

The new uclibc-ng 1.0.55 release contains a fix for this issue [6].
This version is included in Buildroot commit [7].

Since the prebuilt Bootling aarch64 uclibc stable 2025.08-1 is based
on previous uClibc-ng release (1.0.54) we have to use the internal
toolchain backend to build a new uClibc-ng toolchain using uclibc-ng
1.0.55. Note: the toolchain config defined in this commit reflects
the options enabled in the Bootling aarch64 uclibc external
toolchains.
