Jordan Yates d8f186aa4a arch: common: semihost: add semihosting operations
Add an API that utilizes the ARM semihosting mechanism to interact with
the host system when a device is being emulated or run under a debugger.

RISCV is implemented in terms of the ARM implementation, and therefore
the ARM definitions cross enough architectures to be defined 'common'.

Functionality is exposed as a separate API instead of syscall
implementations (`_lseek`, `_open`, etc) due to various quirks with
the ARM mechanisms that means function arguments are not standard.

For more information see:
