There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

ARM: Split out ARMv7 code and make it possible to have other arch versions.
We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should
separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible
to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per
build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version
at a time.
The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have
some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.

Squashed two related patches for splitting ARM support into general
ARM support and ARMv7 specific pieces.

This patch enhances the armv7 exception handlers in Coreboot and
libpayload to show the correct SP and LR registers from the aborted
context, and also dump a part of the current stack. Since we cannot
access the banked registers of SVC mode from a different exception mode,
it changes Coreboot (and its payloads) to run in System mode instead. As
both modes can execute all privileged instructions, this should not have
any noticeable effect on firmware operation (please correct me if I'm
wrong!).

Currently, the exception handling code on ARM in libpayload turns on alignment
checks as an easy way to generate an exception for testing purposes. It was
leaving it on which disabled unaligned accesses for other, unlreated code
running later. This change adjusts the code so the original value of the
alignment bit is restored after the test exception.
Built and booted into depthcharge on pit with an unaligned accesses added
after the call to exception_init in the depthcharge's main. Before this
change, the access caused an exception. After this change, the access
completed successfully.

'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode
I didn't realize we don't enable 14 year old features when building
libpayload, and I must have accidentally not rebuilt everything when making my
final tweaks to my earlier change.

Give some indication what happened instead of just crashing.
As part of setup, cause an exception and make sure that we get
the right one, and that we recover correctly. Hence we have
some assurance that if they really happen we can handle them.
Built and booted into test payload on Snow. Saw the built in test function
worked correctly. Artificially added code which got an exception and saw that
the error information prints correctly.
