Thomas Petazzoni 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.
