[PATCH v3 4/7] selftests/nolibc: add XARCH and ARCH mapping support

[Zhangjin Wu]

Most of the CPU architectures have different variants, but kernel
usually only accepts parts of them via the ARCH variable, the others
should be customized via kernel config files.

To simplify testing, the external ARCH variable is extended to accept
more CPU variants from user's input, a new internal XARCH variable is
added to save users' ARCH input and used to customize variant specific
variables, at last XARCH is converted to the internal ARCH variable
acceptable by kernel:

  e.g. make run ARCH=<one of the supported variants>
               /
              v
  external ARCH from cmdline -> internal XARCH -> internal ARCH for kernel
                                          |
                                          `--> variant specific variables

XARCH and ARCH are carefully mapped to allow users to pass architecture
variants via external ARCH (or XARCH) from cmdline:

- From developers' perspective

  - XARCH records the architecture variant from user's ARCH input, after
    'override ARCH', ARCH is overridden and mapped from XARCH to the one
    supported by kernel

  - Map from XARCH to the kernel supported ARCH: 'ARCH_<XARCH> = <ARCH>'

  - Configure a default variant for kernel supported ARCH: 'XARCH_<ARCH> = <XARCH>'

- From users' perspective

  - ARCH (or XARCH) are architecture variants of a target architecture

  - the variants are XARCH names from the "ARCH_<XARCH> = <ARCH>" mapping list

PowerPC is the first user and also a very good reference architecture of
this mapping, it has variants with different combinations of
32-bit/64-bit and bit endian/little endian.

To use this mapping, the other architectures can refer to PowerPC, If
the target architecture only has one variant, XARCH is simply an alias
of ARCH, no additional mapping required.
