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.

The ARM Makefile was copied from x86 and then modified, and as a result it
was carrying a lot of baggage. On top of that, the extra complication made it
inflexible, and we need a lot of flexiblity in order to support the fact that
the Tegra124 starts on an ARMv4 coprocessor instead of one of the ARMv7 main
CPUs.

This lays out the groundwork for using a proper bootblock on ARM.
Currently we bypass the bootblock entirely and go straight to
romstage. However we want to utilize CBFS to maximize flexibility
of placing code without relying on a lot of magic numbers which
will break depending on the SoC in use.
