local:utils:dev-libs/libucl: Builds and installs utils

It would be really nice if this could be extended to state what tools are installed, i.e. letting the user choose without having to conduct additional research.

It might be also useful to use USE=tools instead for consistency.

I left the flag name alone, since "utils" looks just about as common as "tools" to me.

    dev-libs/libucl: update flag description for USE=utils.

    The "utils" USE flag enables two utilities currently: chargen and
    objdump. I've mentioned them explicitly in metadata.xml, and left
    a comment about a new utility in a future (unpackaged) version.
