arm, config: Add an example ARM big.LITTLE(tm) configuration script

An ARM big.LITTLE system consists of two cpu clusters: the big
CPUs are typically complex out-of-order cores and the little
CPUs are simpler in-order ones. The fs_bigLITTLE.py script
can run a full system simulation with various number of big
and little cores and cache hierarchy. The commit also includes
two example device tree files for booting Linux on the
bigLITTLE system.
