Don't allow user to choose CPU_ARCEM / CPU_ARCHS options
but select them when exact CPU type (i.e. EM4 / EM6 / HS3X/ etc)
is chosen.

All board defconfig files currently set the architecture in addition to
the board and the SoC, by setting e.g. CONFIG_ARM=y. This spams up
defconfig files.
CONFIG_<arch> symbols currently being set in configuration files also
means that they are configurable (can be changed in menuconfig and in
configuration files), even though changing the architecture won't work,
since other things get set from -DBOARD=<board>. Many boards also allow
changing the architecture symbols independently from the SoC symbols,
which doesn't make sense.
Get rid of all assignments to CONFIG_<arch> symbols and clean up the
relationships between symbols and the configuration interface, like
this:
1. Remove the choice with the CONFIG_<arch> symbols in arch/Kconfig and
turn the CONFIG_<arch> symbols into invisible
(promptless/nonconfigurable) symbols instead.
Getting rid of the choice allows the symbols to be 'select'ed (choice
symbols don't support 'select').
2. Select the right CONFIG_<arch> symbol from the SOC_SERIES_* symbols.
This makes sense since you know the architecture if you know the SoC.
Put the select on the SOC_* symbol instead for boards that don't have
a SOC_SERIES_*.
3. Remove all assignments to CONFIG_<arch> symbols. The assignments
would generate errors now, since the symbols are promptless.
The change was done by grepping for assignments to CONFIG_<arch>
symbols, finding the SOC_SERIES_* (or SOC_*) symbol being set in the
same defconfig file, and putting a 'select' on it instead.
See
https://github.com/ulfalizer/zephyr/commits/hide-arch-syms-unsquashed
for a split-up version of this commit, which will make it easier to see
how stuff was done. This needs to go in as one commit though.
This change is safer than it might seem re. outstanding PRs, because any
assignment to CONFIG_<arch> symbols generates an error now, making
outdated stuff easy to catch.

* CONFIG_SMP can be enabled by smp application, e.g. tests/kernel/smp
* if application is not designed for smp, CONFIG_SMP can be disabled,
and the target works as a single processor.

Now when SMP support for ARC is available we may introduce a simulation
platform which might be used for testing & development for SMP setups.
One important note is stand-alone nSIM (as well as its "Free" flavour)
doesn't support SMP simulation so we have to switch to use of nSIM via
proprietary MetaWare debugger [1] and so:
1. We introduce new emulation target "mdb"
2. It's only possible to run that platform for those who
have MetaWare tools installed and valid license.
Though QEMU port for ARC is in work at the moment and once we
open that port and it has SMP support we'll switch to it and everybody
will be able to try ARC HS with SMP.
