ARM: add u-boot.imx as target for i.MX SOCs

Freescale SOCs require an header to u-boot.bin

The patch adds u-boot.imx to the default targets
if the imx file is set (IMX_CONFIG).

Reduce build times

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%.

ARM: Rename arch/arm/cpu/arm_cortexa8 to armv7

The purpose of this patch is to prepare for adding the OMAP4 architecture, which is Cortex A9

Cortex A8 and A9 both belong to the armv7 architecture, hence the name change.

The two architectures are similar enough that substantial code can be shared.
