nuttx/build: Restore ARLOCK to improve compile speed in incremental case

To solve the issue of carrying object files from previous builds,
Matias changed the archiving process to re-archive libapps.a on every compilation,
if libapps.a carries more object files, incremental compilation will waste too
many time in re-archiving, compared with the previous implement, this is a degradation
of the build system.  Referring to mature engineering projects such as cmake, if there
is configuration or source file changed, the best solution should be to reconfigure
the environment.

Revert this PR to ensure the compilation speed during incremental compilation.

|      Fix: ensure archive files do not carry object files from prior builds
|
|      In some cases, when NuttX configuration changes and this makes the
|      object list used to build one of the .a libraries change as well,
|      since the command used to build it is "ar crs" and this simply appends
|      the list of object files, the library could still include object
|      files from prior builds. This commit modifies the ARCHIVE macro to
|      erase the .a file if it already exists.
|
|      Since in some cases this behavior was actually expected (object
|      files from a subdirectory were appended to a library created one
|      level above) I added a ARCHIVE_ADD which works as ARCHIVE did.
|
|      This change should greatly improve behavior of building after
|      configuration changes.
