[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] MPC5200: workaround data corruption for unaligned local bus accesses

The MPC5200 has a nasty problem that will cause silent data corruption
when performing unaligned 16 or 32 byte accesses when reading from the
local bus - typically this affects reading from flash. The problem can
be easily shown:

This commit implements a workaround at least for the most blatant
problem: using memcpy() from NOR flash. We rename the assembler
routine into __memcpy() and provide a wrapper, which will use a
byte-wise copy loop for unaligned source or target addresses when
reading from NOR flash, and branch to the optimized __memcpy()
in all other cases, thus minimizing the performance impact.
Tested on lite5200b and TQM5200S.

v2:
Check alignment of source and target addresses, use byte-wise
copy only when needed (i. e. unaligned, and reading from flash)
v3:
Fix Makefile typo which will break all non-MPC5200 boards
