Introduce FLASH_CONF_FW_ADDR and FLASH_CONF_FW_SIZE in order to make it
possible to place the firmware anywhere, regardless of Coffee, and
without having to write a custom linker script. Also, handle the default
values properly in order to fix the link breakage reported by
Arthur Fabre <arthur@arthurfabre.com> with COFFEE_CONF_CUSTOM_PORT.

Add functions providing the SoC revision, SRAM size, and enabled
hardware features, as well as a function printing SoC information.

Add functions providing the last reset cause, one as an integer (ID),
and one as a string.

The conditional definitions in project-conf.h depending on
CONTIKI_TARGET_<TARGET_NAME> were ignored at link time, which broke the
linker script if it used these definitions, so the flashed applications
could crash or malfunction.

The block that controls the `.upload` target is unnecessarily replicated in multiple sub-board Makefiles. This was originally done because the SmartRF and the Launchpad can be programmed with the c2538-bsl script, whereas the sensortag cannot.
This commit moves the `cc2538-bsl` / `.upload` target logic to the top level cpu Makefile (`cpu/cc26xx-cc13xx/Makefile.cc26xx-cc13xx`). Board makefiles simply set the make variable `BOARD_SUPPORTS_BSL` to 1 to signal that they can be programmed by the BSL script. If `BOARD_SUPPORTS_BSL` is not equal to 1, trying to use the `.upload` target will return an error message.
For example:
```
$ make BOARD=sensortag/cc2650 cc26xx-demo.upload
using saved target 'srf06-cc26xx'
This board cannot be programmed with the ROM bootloader and therefore does not support the .upload target.
```
This patch adds a simple non-driver protection domain sample to serve
as an example for defining other non-driver protection domains. It
simply performs a ping-pong test of protection domain switching
latency during boot, including optional accesses to a private metadata
region, and prints out the results.
This patch extends the protection domain framework with a third plugin
that is a hybrid of the previous two. The hardware task switching
mechanism has a strictly-defined format for TSS data structures that
causes more space to be consumed than would otherwise be required.
This patch defines a smaller data structure that is allocated for each
protection domain, only requiring 32 bytes instead of 128 bytes. It
uses the same multi-segment memory layout as the TSS-based plugin and
leaves paging disabled. However, it uses a similar mechanism as the
paging plugin to perform system call dispatches and returns.
For additional information, please refer to cpu/x86/mm/README.md.
This patch extends the protection domain framework with an additional
plugin to use Task-State Segment (TSS) structures to offload much of
the work of switching protection domains to the CPU. This can save
space compared to paging, since paging requires two 4KiB page tables
and one 32-byte page table plus one whole-system TSS and an additional
32-byte data structure for each protection domain, whereas the
approach implemented by this patch just requires a 128-byte data
structure for each protection domain. Only a small number of
protection domains will typically be used, so
n * 128 < 8328 + (n * 32).
For additional information, please refer to cpu/x86/mm/README.md.
GCC 6 is introducing named address spaces for the FS and GS segments
[1]. LLVM Clang also provides address spaces for the FS and GS
segments [2]. This patch also adds support to the multi-segment X86
memory management subsystem for using these features instead of inline
assembly blocks, which enables type checking to detect some address
space mismatches.
