My main motivations for this commit are:
[1] Follow the arch/arm/Makefile style of Linux Kernel
[2] Maintain compiler options systematically
Currently, we give -march=* and -mtune=* options inconsistently:
Only some of the CPUs pass -march=* and -mtune=* options.
By collecting such options into the single place arch/arm/Makefile
we can tell which options are missing at a glance.
[3] Prepare for deprecating arch/*/cpu/*/config.mk
Note:
This commit just moves the compiler options so as not to change
the behavior at all. It does not care about the correctness of
the given options. Fox example, "-march=armv5te" might be better
than "-march=armv4" for ARM946EJS, but it is beyond the scope this
commit. Also, filling the missing -march=* and -tune=* is left
to follow-up patches.

Rename OBJCFLAGS to OBJCOPYFLAGS beforehand to use
"cmd_objcopy" in scripts/Makefile.lib in an upcoming commit.

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.

The OneNAND SPL used on PXA is slightly obscure. Due to the OneNAND limitation,
where we have only the first 1KiB of the OneNAND available upon power-up as a
memory-mapped area, from which the CPU starts executing, we place only the most
essential code into this first 1KiB . This code copies the rest of the SPL into
SRAM and jumps to it. This code is stored in section .text.0 .
The rest of the SPL is stored in section .text.1 . When running the OBJCOPY on
the SPL, it will preserve only .text section, but the .text.0 and .text.1 are
stripped away from the result, thus making the SPL binary empty. The patch adds
additional -j parameters to the OBJCOPY for PXA during the SPL build, which will
preserve the .text.0 and .text.1 sections.
Moreover, this patch also adds missing functions into the .text.0 section, since
otherwise the PXA270 with 1KiB-window OneNAND won't be able to boot.

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.

Pass '-mcpu=xscale' to the compiler instead of march and mtune. This will cause
gcc to define the __XSCALE__ macro.

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%.
