Explain search for sub-toolchains in robot-paths #258

EB not only searches for *-GCC-* but also for *-GCCcore-* if no file was found using the former

A link to https://docs.easybuild.io/common-toolchains/#toolchains_diagram might also help here, as a clear picture of the toolchain layers. Perhaps: EB also searches for modules of the same name and version that use lower-level toolchain components from the same chain, eg -GCCcore- for an original -GCC-. See the toolchain documentation | https://docs.easybuild.io/common-toolchains/#toolchains_diagram for a fuller explanation. I'll see if I can suggest that in the file.

Ah, you've already got it! This would have helped me.
