(1) Keep the `.init_array` and `.ctors` symbols and sort them according to their initialization priority.
(2) Exclude symbols ending with crtend.* and crtbegin.* to support c++
application.if we not exclude crtend.* crtbegin.* frame_dummy will be
added when enable any c++ application with global variables, this symbol
execution is problematic, removing it does not affect the application.

As __start must be placed at a precise location, a separate, explicit
input section is needed to guarantee this.
Why is this an issue ? NuttX uses --entry=__start which puts __start in
its correct location, but out-of-tree builds won't work, so it more robust
to use an explicit section for the startup code and enforce its placement
in the linker script.
Usually the startup script is placed under /etc. The contents of the etc directory
are compiled and linked with Nuttx binary in the form of romfs. After startup,
it will be mounted by Nsh.
etc is generated by the different boards, that use genromfs and xxd tools to generate
and compile it into the Nuttx, for example: boards/arm/at32/at32f437-mini/tool/mkromfs.sh
The more common method is etc image generated from the content in the corresponding
board/arch/board/board/src/etc directory, and added by Makefile for example:
boards/sim/sim/sim/src/etc.
But in kernel/protected mode, Nuttx kernel and apps are run in different privileged/
non-privileged mode or the isolated binarys, so as that nsh should use syscall to
access Nuttx kernel by exported API. In this scenario, nsh can not mount the etc image
content, because that is generated in board and as a part of Nuttx kernel.
changes:
- move etc romfs mount from nsh to Nuttx, but keep the script to parse and execute.
- move and rename the related CONFIG, move customized nsh_romfsimg.h to etc_romfs.c
in boards, and no need declaration for romfs_img/romfs_img_len.
This commit changes and updates all configurations in Nuttx arch/board as much as possible,
but if any missing, please refer to the following simple guide:
- rename CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC to CONFIG_ETC_ROMFS, and delete CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS in defconfig
- rename the etc romfs mount configs, for example CONFIG_NSH_FATDEVNO to CONFIG_ETC_FATDEVNO
- move customized nsh_romfsimg.h to etc_romfs.c in board/arch/board/board/src and no need
declaration for romfs_img/romfs_img_len.
- delete default nsh_romfsimg.h, if ROMFSETC is enabled, should generate and compile etc_romfs.c
in board/arch/board/board/src.

- migrated /README are removed from /boards
- there are a lot of READMEs that should be further converted to rst.
At the moment they are moved to Documentation/platforms and included in rst files
When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
At present, the serial drivers qemu_serial.c and serial_pl011.c on the fvp-v8r and qemu platforms in arm64 are duplicated
and need to be merged. The plan is to place them under the drivers\serial directory to create a common code module,
so that both fvp-v8r and qemu can use the same code.
In the future, if new platforms use pl011 serial ports, they can also be directly reused

Summary:
Keeping this option out of depend on any common serial.
Using the option, need to implement xxx_lowputc.S/c.
You can also logging the booting message through rewriting
fake arm64_lowputc with other debug method (eg semihosting,
ARM debug channel etc).

Summary:
To reduce the count of FPU context switching will result at a
performance improve with system. it need to balance between
the using of FPU and counts of FPU trap
the PR submit a base method to see performance counts for
the FPU with NuttX procfs

Summary:
Adding virtual evaluate platform FVP. This FVP board configuration
will be used to emulate generic ARM64v8-R (Cotex-R82)series hardware
platform and provide support for these devices:
- GICv3 interrupt controllers for ARMv8-r
- PL011 UART controller(FVP)
Note:
1. ostest is PASSED at fvp ( single core and SMP)
2. the FVP tools can be download from ARM site, please check FVP
