There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

ARM: Split out ARMv7 code and make it possible to have other arch versions.
We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should
separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible
to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per
build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version
at a time.
The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have
some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.

Squashed two related patches for splitting ARM support into general
ARM support and ARMv7 specific pieces.

This was never completed / working and we have the working
ARMv7 port for an architecture template, so get rid of this
dead code.

The endianness of an architecture is now set up automatically using Kconfig
and some common code. The available conversion functions were also expanded
to go to or from a particular endianness. Those use the abbreviation le or be
for little or big endian.
Built for Stumpy and saw coreinfo cbfs support work which uses network
byte order. Used the functions which convert to little endian to implement an
AHCI driver. The source arch is also little endian, so they were effectively
(and successfully) inert.
