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
