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.

ARM support and ARMv7 specific pieces.

The memset and memcpy functions are assembled as ARM code, likely because
that's the default of the assembler. Without special annotation, the assembler
and linker don't know that those symbols are functions which need special
handling so that ARM/thumb issues are handled properly. This change adds that
annotation which gets those functions working in Coreboot which is compiled as
thumb. Libpayload and depthcharge are compiled as ARM so they don't *need* the
annotation since it just works out in ARM mode, but it's the safe thing to do
in case we change that in the future.
We should explicitly select ARM vs. thumb when assembling assembly files to be
consistent across builds and toolchains.
