Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider
zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing
uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed,
since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address,
except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply
better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format
on ARM.
All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select
explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need
to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

git:// is sometimes not allowed through corporate firewalls, so change to

Similar to the issue with the Atmel A5 based boards, the VFP is optional on
A9 - So we need to enable it to be able to use EABIhf.

For most defconfigs, it was trivial to deduce the kernel version, by
just reading the version string, which could be:
- a standard upstream version string vX.Y.Z
- a non-standard version string, but still containg the standard X.Y.Z
Those for which it was not so trivial were those hosted on git tree.
Since most were already using a custom linux-headers version, it could
be easily deduced from that. It was confirmed by browsing said git trees
and check the version there.
There are a few cases were there was a mismatch:
- microzed: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- xilinx_zc706: uses a 3.14 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- zedboard: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.

This is largely the same as altera_sockit_defconfig.
It uses a fresher Linux and u-boot than SocKit. It also speeds the
serial port up to 115200.
The post-image script is generalized by adding
BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS and moving it up the altera directory.
Similarly, the readme is moved up and made more generic.

This commit introduces initial support for the Arrow SoCkit
boards, featuring an Altera Cyclone V SoC:
http://www.altera.com/b/arrow-sockit.html
It is based on Roman Diouskine's work at
https://github.com/rndi/buildroot-alt.
The kernel and the u-boot used is the one developped by the
rocketboards.org community, as mainline support is not fully
available yet.
More info is available in the board/altera/sockit/readme.txt file.
[Thomas: remove a number of not really needed empty new lines in the
readme.txt file, update the defconfig for the new kernel headers
options.]
