[PATCH][AArch32][libgloss] Fix semihosting SYS_EXIT call on semihosting v1.


Hi All,

The current SYS_EXIT has a bug that when making the call it always uses
the v2 calling convention.  This is undefined behavior according to the
semihosting specification:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/semihosting-operations/sys_exit-0x18

This patch fixes it by making sure v1 passes the argument directly in the register instead
of in a block. And for v2 it does the same if the v2 extension isn't supported.

The sequence generated now is

   12424:       ebfffecd        bl      11f60 <_has_ext_exit_extended>
   12428:       e3500000        cmp     r0, #0
   1242c:       11a0500d        movne   r5, sp
   12430:       059d5000        ldreq   r5, [sp]
   12434:       e1a00004        mov     r0, r4
   12438:       e1a01005        mov     r1, r5
   1243c:       ef00f000        svc     0x0000f000

Cross compiled arm-none-eabi and regtested using check-gcc and no regressions.

Ok for master?

PS. I do not have commit rights so if OK can someone apply for me?

Thanks,
Tamar
