First decoupling changes related to CMAKE
BINDIR/APPSBINDIR:
Output path of Kconfig which dynamically generated by NuttX Kernel/Apps
This option is consistent with the TOPDIR/APPSDIR by default, and will
be changed when out-of-tree compilation is supported

There is currently a big problem in the address environment handling which
is that the address environment is released too soon when the process is
exiting. The current MMU mappings will always be the exiting process's, which means
the system needs them AT LEAST until the next context switch happens. If
the next thread is a kernel thread, the address environment is needed for
longer.
Kernel threads "lend" the address environment of the previous user process.
This is beneficial in two ways:
- The kernel processes do not need an allocated address environment
- When a context switch happens from user -> kernel or kernel -> kernel,
the TLB does not need to be flushed. This must be done only when
changing to a different user address environment.
Another issue is when a new process is created; the address environment
of the new process must be temporarily instantiated by up_addrenv_select().
However, the system scheduler does not know that the process has a different
address environment to its own and when / if a context restore happens, the
wrong MMU page directory is restored and the process will either crash or
do something horribly wrong.
The following changes are needed to fix the issues:
- Add mm_curr which is the current address environment of the process
- Add a reference counter to safeguard the address environment
- Whenever an address environment is mapped to MMU, its reference counter
is incremented
- Whenever and address environment is unmapped from MMU, its reference
counter is decremented, and tested. If no more references -> drop the
address environment and release the memory as well
- To limit the context switch delay, the address environment is freed in
a separate low priority clean-up thread (LPWORK)
- When a process temporarily instantiates another process's address
environment, the scheduler will now know of this and will restore the
correct mappings to MMU
Why is this not causing more noticeable issues ? The problem only happens
under the aforementioned special conditions, and if a context switch or
IRQ occurs during this time.
The dependency should be vice versa; the MM_SHM should depend on the
existence of the virtual memory range allocator.
Create a new CONFIG flag CONFIG_ARCH_VMA_MAPPING, which will define that
there is a virtual memory range allocator. Make MM_SHM select that flag

so the user could disable the full image instrumentation,
but enable the instrumentation by files or directories.

Summary:
Arm64 support for NuttX, Features supported:
1. Cortex-a53 single core and SMP support: it's can run into nsh shell at
qemu virt machine.
2. qemu-a53 board configuration support: it's only for evaluate propose
3. FPU support for armv8-a: FPU context switching at NEON/floating-point
TRAP is supported.
4. psci interface, armv8 cache operation(data cache) and smccc support.
5. fix mass code style issue, thank for @xiaoxiang781216, @hartmannathan @pkarashchenko
Please refer to boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-a53/README.txt for detail
Note:
1. GCC MACOS issue
The GCC 11.2 toolchain for MACOS may get crash while compiling
float operation function, the following link describe the issue
and give analyse at the issue:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5825
it's seem GCC give a wrong instruction at certain machine which
without architecture features
the new toolchain is not available still, so just disable the MACOS
cibuild check at present

option. This config was probably added in the early bring up of the
ESP32 chip. At that point the clock config was suppressed and we relied
on the bootloader. Now we can configure the clock from NuttX.
The option itself is still useful and can be used for any other
architecture or chip.

After check the official specification of ARM ISA
and Thumb ISA, the arch_setjmp_thumb.S are written
by arm unified assembly language,
so it easy to make it works for ARM and thumb ISA.

add support of sparc in boards/Kconfig
add sparc dir in arch, add sparc dir in boards
add support of sparc in libs/libc/machine
modify all the coding style problem about saprc
chips that have multiple separate heaps.
For now it's used to enable APIs to initialize the different heaps
during the start sequence but can be extended for other purposes that
manage those heaps.
