Arches now select whether they want to use the GCC built-ins,
their own assembly implementation, or the generic C code.
At the moment, the SDK compilers only support builtins for ARM
and X86. ZEP-557 opened to investigate further.

This is at the expense of code size. The QEMU and MAX10
targets have plenty of space so enable it for these boards,
but leave off by default for others.

We now allow use of -mgpopt=global and -mgpopt=data. The 'global'
option is now the default instead of compiler-default local, expanding
global pointer usage to all small data in the system.
For systems where all RAM is less than 64K, the 'data' option may be
appropriate.
Some fixes had to be made to the system in order to get around some
issues:
* prep_c.c no longer uses fake linker variables to figure out the size
of data or BSS, as these gave the linker fits as it tried to compute
relative addresses to them.
* _k_task_ptr_idle is create by sysgen and placed in a special section.
Any small data in a special section needs to be declared extern
with __attribute__((section)) else the compiler will assume it's in
.sdata.
* same situation with extern references to k_pipe_t (fixed pipe_priv
test)
For legacy applications being ported to Nios II which do things that
freak out global pointer calculation, it can be disabled entirely.

Nios II CPUs vary in configuration on whether they support
'mul', 'mulx', and 'div' family of instructions. The compiler
can be told to use GCC integer library routines instead if
needed.
Ideally we would just pull the configuration out of system.h,
but pulling include file #defines into the Make environment
will involve some build system work that is best left to a
later improvement.
We've decided to take this build-time approach rather than
handle unimplemented instruction exceptions, so remove the
hook in exception.S

If XIP is turned on, only hardware breakpoints may be used, and
code cannot be loaded onto the device with nios2-download
or GDB 'load' command. RAM-constrained applications are free to
enable this if they need to.

We get these out of system.h instead. A clause in libc-hooks.c
for newlib added since we don't get RAM size from
CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS.

Basic build framework for Nios2. Everything is stubbed out,
we just want to have a build going so that we can start to
parallelize implementation tasks.
This patch is not intended to be functional, but should be
able to produce a binary for all the nanokernel-based
sanity checks.
