arc: clean-up init procedure

Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written
code as it is possible.

In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why
don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc.

It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of
code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86.

Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer
setup before and after relocation.

arc: relocate - minor refactoring and clean-up

* use better symbols for relocatable region boundaries
("__image_copy_start" instead of "CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE")
* remove useless debug messages because they will only show up in case
of both problem (when normal "if" branch won't be taken) and DEBUG take
place which is pretty rare situation.

arc: introduce separate section for interrupt vector table

Even though existing implementation works fine in preparation to
submission of ARCv2 architecture we need this change.

In case of ARCv2 interrupt vector table consists of just addresses
of corresponding handlers. And if those addresses will be in .text
section then assembler will encode them as everything in .text section
as middle-endian and then on real execution CPU will read swapped
addresses and will jump into the wild.

Once introduced new section is situated so .text section remains the
first which allows us to use common linker option for linking everything
to a specified CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

arc: fix relocation for big-endian target

In case of little-endian ARC700 instructions (which may include target
address) are encoded as middle-endian. That's why it's required to swap
bytes after read and ten right before write back.

But in case of big-endian ARC700 instructions are encoded as a plain
big-endian. Thus no need for byte swapping.
