arch: add softfp support

Some architectures support a mixed hard/soft floating point, where
the compiler emits hardware floating point instructions, but passes
the operands in core (aka integer) registers.

For example, ARM supports this mode (to come in the next changeset).

Add support for softfp cross compilers to the GCC and GLIBC
configuration. Needed for Ubuntu and other distros that are softfp.

If your processor has no FPU, then you most probably want this, as it
is faster than emulating the FPU in the kernel.

Emit hardware floating point opcodes but use the software
floating point calling convention.
Architectures such as ARM use different registers for passing
floating point values depending on if they're in software mode
or hardware mode. softfp emits FPU instructions but uses the
software FP calling convention allowing softfp code to
interoperate with legacy software only code.
If in doubt, use 'software' or 'hardware' mode instead.
