4a9b1c6aab base-linux: add ARM support
This patch introduces a new platform 'linux_arm' for building and running
Genode/Linux on an ARM device.

Known limitations:

- libc 'setjmp()'/'longjmp()' doesn't currently save/restore floating
  point registers

Fixes #746.

fae63f4fa9 Merge base libraries into a single library
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.

Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:

- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
  On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
  identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
  processes

Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.

Fixes #18

8f12e555af lx_hybrid: reserve thread context area for core
core does not use POSIX threads when built for the 'lx_hybrid_x86'
platform, so we need to reserve the thread-context area via a segment in
the program to prevent clashes with vdso and shared libraries.

Fixes #639.

ae41acec27 Hardening compilation support for 64bit Linux
Without this patch the compilation failed with:

/usr/bin/ld: main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against
`vtable for Genode::Dataspace' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
main.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[6]: *** [init] Error 1

For this patch the use of the hardening tool chain must be indicated
using the "hardening_tool_chain" SPECS entry within the file
<build>/etc/specs.conf

Fixes #79
