[PATCH v4 05/12] 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, a new XARCH variable is added to extend the
kernel's ARCH with a few variants of the same architecture, and it is
used to customize variant specific variables, at last XARCH is converted
to the kernel's ARCH:

  e.g. make run XARCH=<one of the supported variants>
                | \
                |  `-> variant specific variables:
                |      IMAGE, DEFCONFIG, QEMU_ARCH, QEMU_ARGS, CFLAGS ...
                \
                 `---> kernel's ARCH

XARCH and ARCH are carefully mapped to allow users to pass architecture
variants via XARCH or pass architecture via ARCH from cmdline.

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.
