[PATCH][Newlib][AArch32] Add support for HLT to Mixed Mode models

[Tamar Christina]

Hi All,

The Semihosting v2 protocol requires us to output the Armv8-a HLT instruction
when in mixed mode (SEMIHOST_V2_MIXED_MODE), however it also requires this to
be done for Armv7-a and earlier architectures.

The HLT instruction is defined in the undefined encoding space for older
architectures but simulators such as QEMU already trap on it [1] for all
architectures and is a requirement for semihosting v2 [2]

Unfortunately the GAS restricts the use of HLT to Armv8-a which requires us to
use the instruction encodings we want directly in crt0.

This patch does this, I have not updated newlib/libc/* as that is quite out of
date already.  A proper sync is needed in order to get things back in sync.

A different patch for this would be best.

Regtested on arm-none-eabi and no issues.

Ok for trunk?

Thanks,
Tamar
