dcb74db89e arch: add support for configurable page size on ARM64
This commit is based on earlier work from Łukasz Stelmach
<l.stelmach@samsung.com> to add support for different page sizes on
ARM64.

In his initial submission, Łukasz took an approach similar to this
one, i.e make it ARM64-specific. Following the feedback on the mailing
list, his second version [1] tried to generalize the logic to
configure the page size between architectures. But the general
consensus during the review process was that there wasn't much to
generalize in the end.

So, this new iteration is back to a simpler approach:

 * We have new options in Config.in.arm to configure the page
   size. Only 4 KB and 64 KB are supported, because our testing in
   Qemu and real hardware has not allowed to get a successful setup
   for 16 KB pages. We can always re-add support for 16 KB later if
   that is resolved.

 * The logic to define the ARCH_TOOLCHAIN_WRAPPER_OPTS options is
   moved from the ARC-specific file to arch/arch.mk, and extended to
   cover ARM64.

 * The appropriate logic in uclibc.mk and linux.mk is added to tweak
   the relevant configuration options.

 * A test case is added in the runtime test infrastructure to test
   building and booting under Qemu a 64 KB configuration, with all 3 C
   libraries.

For the regular configuration of 4 KB pages, this commit makes one
functional change: on ARM64, -Wl,-z,max-page-size=4096 is now passed in
the compiler flags of the wrapper.

cf2b12cbfb arch: drop BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU_REVISION option
In commit 325bb37942, support for the
Blackfin architecture was removed. This was our only use of
BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU_REVISION, and since this config option somewhat
complicates the calculation of the --with-cpu/-mcpu option values,
let's drop it.

e2b0705743 arch/arch.mk: fix check-package warnings
"make check-package" is not happy with the formatting of the recently
introduced arch.mk:

arch/arch.mk:1: should be 80 hashes (http://nightly.buildroot.org/#writing-rules-mk)
arch/arch.mk:2: should be 1 hash (http://nightly.buildroot.org/#writing-rules-mk)
arch/arch.mk:4: should be 1 hash (http://nightly.buildroot.org/#writing-rules-mk)
arch/arch.mk:5: should be 80 hashes (http://nightly.buildroot.org/#writing-rules-mk)
arch/arch.mk:6: should be a blank line (http://nightly.buildroot.org/#writing-rules-mk)

Let's fix this by adding a comment header that makes check-package
happy.

bd0640a213 arch: allow GCC target options to be optionally overwritten
The BR2_GCC_TARGET_* configuration variables are copied to
corresponding GCC_TARGET_* variables which may then be optionally
modified or overwritten by architecture specific makefiles.

All makefiles must use the new GCC_TARGET_* variables instead
of the BR2_GCC_TARGET_* versions.
