eclipse support: document script and add checks

As requested by Peter, add a bit of documentation in the
eclipse-register-toolchain script, and add a few more checks (even
though this script is not intended to be executed manually, which is
also now mentionned in the documentation).

+# This script registers the toolchain of a Buildroot project into the
+# Eclipse plugin. To do so, it adds a new line for the Buildroot
+# toolchain into the $HOME/.buildroot-eclipse.toolchains file, which
+# the Eclipse Buildroot plugin reads to discover automatically the
+# available Buildroot toolchains on the system.
+#
+# This script should typically not be called manually. Instead, one
+# should enable the BR2_ECLIPSE_REGISTER configuration option, which
+# will lead Buildroot to automatically call this script with the
+# appropriate arguments.
+#
+# Usage:
+#  eclipse-register-toolchain project-directory toolchain-prefix architecture
+#
+#   project-directory is the absolute path to the Buildroot project
+#   output directory (which contains the host/, target/, build/,
+#   images/, etc. subdirectories). It should be an absolute and
+#   canonical path.
+#
+#   toolchain-prefix is the prefix of the cross-compilation tools, i.e
+#   'arm-linux-' if the cross-compiler executable is 'arm-linux-gcc'.
+#
+#   architecture is the lower-cased name of the architecture targetted
+#   by the Buildroot project.
