arm, arm64, mips: Add rough static stack size checks with -Wstack-usage
We've seen an increasing need to reduce stack sizes more and more for space reasons, and it's always guesswork because no one has a good idea how little is too litte. We now have boards with 3K and 2K stacks, and old pieces of common code often allocate large temporary buffers that would lead to very dangerous and hard to detect bugs when someone eventually tries to use them on one of those. This patch tries improve this situation at least a bit by declaring 2K as the minimum stack size all of coreboot code should work with. It checks all function frames with -Wstack-usage=1536 to make sure we don't allocate more than 1.5K in a single buffer. This is of course not a perfect test, but it should catch the most common situation of declaring a single, large buffer in some close-to-leaf function (with the assumption that 0.5K is hopefully enough for all the "normal" functions above that). Change one example where we were a bit overzealous and put a 1K buffer into BSS back to stack allocation, since it actually conforms to this new assumption and frees up another kilobyte of that highly sought-after verstage space. Not touching x86 with any of this since it's lack of __PRE_RAM__ BSS often requires it to allocate way more on the stack than would usually be considered sane. BRANCH=veyron BUG=None TEST=Compiled Cosmos, Daisy, Falco, Blaze, Pit, Storm, Urara and Pinky, made sure they still build as well as before and don't show any stack usage warnings.
