[PATCH master 1/6] arch: introduce new CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MALLOC_SIZE

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The new option is selected for all platforms, except for x86 and kvx as
these two platforms are the only ones that do not use MALLOC_SIZE:

- x86 (EFI payload): always allocates 16M as all bigger allocations
  are serviced via calling into the UEFI firmware.

- kvx always initializes memory area from barebox_text_end to end of
  memory described in DT

Note that CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE is not hidden when ARCH_HAS_MALLOC_SIZE
is not selected. The reason for that is that CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE is most
often 0 (malloc area is dynamically determined), but the Kconfig default
is 4M. This would lead to a breakage when bisecting for most boards:

- Board has CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE=0
- Bisect jumps over commit removing ARCH_HAS_MALLOC_SIZE for an arch
- CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE is set to default SZ_4M

This can easily happen, so we keep CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE around even when
the symbol is unset at a value of 0 to cover the most common case.

For boards that actually set a non-zero value, special consideration
may need to be taken on bisect if the dynamic determination is not
sufficient.
