[U-Boot] [PATCH 6/9] sunxi: allow 32-bit builds for 64-bit SoCs

At the moment we build the SPL and U-Boot proper for the 64-bit AArch64
instruction set. But since the cores provide an AArch32 compatibility mode
and in fact the BootROM runs in 32-bit mode, it can be useful to have at
least the SPL run in AArch32 as well. This has two advantages:
- As AArch32 features the compact Thumb2 instruction encoding, we can
get a much smaller image size, which is a relief for our SPL.
- Staying in AArch32, with the MMU turned off, allows an easy return to
the BootROM and its FEL mode. This enables FEL booting on those SoCs.
Introduce a Kconfig option which toggles between CONFIG_ARM64 and
CONFIG_CPU_V7A, to allow easy switching between the two modes. This can
be manually selected in menuconfig, but follow-up patches will introduce
a separate defconfig for that purpose.
