This commit avoids generating ./SPL twice.
- Fist time descending to spl/
- Second time as a prerequisite of u-boot-with-spl.imx,
u-boot-with-nand-spl.imx.

This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.
Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.
That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
$(obj)u-boot.bin: $(obj)u-boot
Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.
And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C <sub-dir>" syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.
On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.
The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.
Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj=<sub-dir>"
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=<sub-dir>" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

Before this commit, all arch/arm/cpu/${CPU}/config.mk except ARMv8
had the same option:
$(call cc-option,-mshort-load-bytes,$(call cc-option,-malignment-traps,))
This commit moves it into arch/arm/config.mk.
If the compiler does not support the option,
it is ignored by $(call cc-option,...).
So this commit gives no harm to ARMv8.

Every ARM cpu config.mk (arch/arm/cpu/{CPUDIR}/config.mk) defines:
PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -fno-common -ffixed-r8 -msoft-float
So, this patch moves the common compiler options to arch/arm/config.mk.

Automatically build the 'u-boot.imx' (i.e. imx header + u-boot.bin) and 'SPL'
(i.e. imx header + u-boot-spl.bin) make targets for all imx processors
supporting this header, so for arm926ejs, arm1136 and armv7. Some combinations
were missing.
At the same time, fix the build of SPL targets not supporting the imx header on
arm1136. For arm1136, the 'SPL' make target was forced to build in all cases if
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD was defined, even for non-imx platforms or imx setups without
an imx header.

The patch adds SPL for the arm1136 architecture and
inserts SPL (the produced binary) to clobber target
in the main Makefile.

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.
