Move arm from ports to libc


I've moved the ARM port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply

git mv ports/sysdeps/arm sysdeps/arm
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/arm sysdeps/unix/arm
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm

and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.arm similar to that at the top of
ChangeLog.powerpc.  There is deliberately no NEWS change, as I think
it makes the most sense to put in a general note above all ports
having moved if we can achieve that for 2.20.

Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for arm is the
same before and after this patch, except for data (not instructions)
in ld.so (there are assertions in sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h, and the
path by which that file is found, and so by which it appears in the
assertion message, changes as a result of the move) and committed
(plus removal of trailing blank lines / fixes of <space><TAB>, needed
for the repository to accept the push).  I'll also tag bugs in
Bugzilla and move them to appropriate non-ports components.

Ports whose moves are now unblocked (subject to the before-and-after
comparison): alpha ia64 m68k microblaze (hppa is blocked by needing
its build fixed first, not by dependencies on other ports).  Ports
whose moves are unblocked once linux-generic has moved: aarch64 tile.
That leaves mips, for which I plan to reverse the dependency on hppa,
if hppa isn't fixed and moved very soon, fix the unnecessary
dependency on alpha, and then move it.
