[NSWI004] WSL support

[Eliáš Cizl]

 Greetings,

if there are any more wondering people about how to get the toolchain
ready, what worked for me (running Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL) was to execute the
toolchain-static.sh
<https://d3s.mff.cuni.cz/files/teaching/nswi004/download/toolchain-static.sh>
script (some packages were needed to be installed first). That created a
temp folder which contains quite a lot of stuff but all that is needed is
to copy the temp/build-mipsel-linux-gnu/PKG/opt/mff-nswi004 to your own
/opt directory. This will make it ready for the config files to locate it
correctly.
