[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/9] arm: Set up global data before board_init_f()

At present arm defines CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA, meaning that
the global_data pointer is set up in board_init_f(). However it is
actually set up before this, it just isn't zeroed.
If we zero the global data before calling board_init_f() then we
don't need to define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA.
Make this change (on arm32 only) to simplify the init process. I
don't have the ability to test aarch64 yet.

Changes in v3:
- Fix assembler code comment in crt0.S to say GD, not BSS
- Ensure that aarch64 stays as it was
- Add newline after clr_gd label
- Remove redundant mov r0, #0
Changes in v2: None
