arc: cache - accommodate different L1 cache line lengths

ARC core could be configured with different L1 and L2 (AKA SLC) cache
line lengths. At least these values are possible and were really used:
32, 64 or 128 bytes.

Current implementation requires cache line to be selected upon U-Boot
configuration and then it will only work on matching hardware. Indeed
this is quite efficient because cache line length gets hardcoded during
code compilation. But OTOH it makes binary less portable.

With this commit we allow U-Boot to determine real L1 cache line length
early in runtime and use this value later on. This extends portability
of U-Boot binary a lot.

arc: significant cache rework

[1] Align cache management functions to those in Linux kernel. I.e.:
a) Use the same functions for all cache ops (D$ Inv/Flush)
b) Split cache ops in 3 sub-functions: "before", "lineloop" and
"after". That way we may re-use "before" and "after" functions for
region and full cache ops.

[2] Implement full-functional L2 (SLC) management. Before SLC was
simply disabled early on boot. It's also possible to enable or disable
L2 cache from config utility.

[3] Disable/enable corresponding caches early on boot. So if U-Boot is
configured to use caches they will be used at all times (this is useful
in partucular for speed-up of relocation).

arc: add support for SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache)

ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache).
This change adds functions required for controlling SLC:
* slc_enable/disable
* slc_flush/invalidate

For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either:
* SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot
* hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific
so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for
controlling SLC explicitly)

arc: introduce U-Boot port for ARCv2 ISA

ARC HS and ARC EM are new cores based on ARCv2 ISA which is binary
incompatible with ISAv1 (AKA ARCompact).

Significant difference between ISAv2 and v1 is implementation of
interrupt vector table.

In v1 it is implemented in the same way as on many other architectures -
as a special location where user may put whether code executed in place
(if machine word of space is enough) or jump to a full-scale interrupt
handler.

In v2 interrupt table is just an array of adresses of real interrupt
handlers. That requires a separate section for IVT that is not encoded
as code by assembler.

This change adds support for following cores:
* ARC EM6 (simple 32-bit microcontroller without MMU)
* ARC HS36 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller without MMU)
* ARC HS38 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller with MMU)

As a part of ARC HS38 new version of MMU (v4) was introduced.

Also this change adds AXS131 board which is the same DW ARC SDP base board but
with ARC HS38 CPU tile.

It is applicable to both FPGA-based boards or those that have CPUs

Now we may select a particular version of ARC700:
* ARC750D or
* ARC770D

It allows more flexible (or more fine tuned) configuration of U-Boot.
Before that change we relied on minimal configuration but now we may
use specific features of each CPU.

Moreover allows us to escape manual selection of options that
exist in both CPUs but may have say different version like MMUv2 in
ARC750D vs MMUv3 in ARC770D.

arc: add architecture header files

These are header files used by ARC700 architecture.

Also note that "arch-arc700/hardware.h" is only required for compilation of
"designware_i2c" driver which refers to "asm/arch/hardware.h".
It would be good to fix mentioned driver sometime soon but it will cause
changes in ARM board configs that use "designware_i2c".
