arch/arm: add option to use *eabihf tuples

Toolchains that use the hard-float ABI now are to be denoted by a tuple
ending in *eabihf, while the prevbious *eabi is now an indication that
the toolchain uses the softfloat ABI.

This is purely a cosmetic thing, for distros to differentiate their
hardfloat-ABI ports from their softfloat-ABI ports.

(note: softfloat ABI does not mean that it is using softfloats; it can
be using hardfloat instructions, but using the softfloat ABI).

Is you say 'y' here, then the tuple for the toolchain will end
up with *eabihf, instead of the usual *eabi.
*eabihf is used to denote that the toolchain *is* using the
hard-float ABI, while *eabi is just an indication of using the
soft-float ABI.
Ie. all one can say is: *eabihf ⊢ hard-float ABI
Saying 'n' here does *not* impact the ability of the toolchain to
generate hard-float instructions with the hard-float ABI. It is a
purely cosmetic thing, used by distros to differentiate their
hard-float-ABI-using ports from their soft-float-ABI-using ports.
(eg. Debian Wheezy and above).
This is an option, as not all versions of gcc/binutils do support
such tuple, and fail to build with *eabihf. Stock gcc version up
to, and including 4.7.2 have an issue or another with *eabihf.
This option is here for the future.
Say 'n', unless you are trying to fix gcc to properly recognise
the *eabihf tuples.
