armv8: Allow for ARMv8 extensions to be chosen
There are now a few architectural extensions available for ARMv8, some of which introduce instructions or other features that may be useful. This allows the user to select an extension implemented on their SoC which will set the -march option passed into the compiler.

+ Specify ARMv8 extension, for example '1' for ARMv8.1, to control the
+ '-march' option passed into the compiler. Defaults to 0 for vanilla
+ ARMv8 but may be overridden in the SoC's Kconfig.
+
+ All ARMv8 implementations are downwards-compatible, so this does not
+ need to be changed unless specific features (e.g. new instructions)
+ are used by the SoC's coreboot code.
