Samuel Holland 6cbd1d6d36 arch: add ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT
Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run
floating-point SIMD code in kernel space.  However, the function names,
header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.

provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.
