Add a new CONFIG_X86_64 option which will eventually cause U-Boot to be
built as a 64-bit application, with SPL doing the 16/32-bit init.

+ U-Boot can be built as a 32-bit binary which runs in 32-bit mode
+ even on 64-bit machines. In this case SPL is not used, and U-Boot
+ runs directly from the reset vector (via 16-bit start-up).
+
+ Alternatively it can be run as a 64-bit binary, thus requiring a
+ 64-bit machine. In this case SPL runs in 32-bit mode (via 16-bit
+ start-up) then jumps to U-Boot in 64-bit mode.
+
+ For now, 32-bit mode is recommended, as 64-bit is still
+ experimental and is missing a lot of features.

+ Build U-Boot as a 32-bit binary with no SPL. This is the currently
+ supported normal setup. U-Boot will stay in 32-bit mode even on
+ 64-bit machines. When booting a 64-bit kernel, U-Boot will switch
+ to 64-bit just before starting the kernel. Only the bottom 4GB of
+ memory can be accessed through normal means, although
+ arch_phys_memset() can be used for basic access to other memory.

+ Build U-Boot as a 64-bit binary with a 32-bit SPL. This is
+ experimental and many features are missing. U-Boot SPL starts up,
+ runs through the 16-bit and 32-bit init, then switches to 64-bit
+ mode and jumps to U-Boot proper.
