Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian
Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:
- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
little-endian
