Alexey Brodkin 5e52c28397 arch: set ld's common-page-size explicitly
On some CPU architecures it's possible to use MMU pages of different
sizes, for example on ARC or ARM. And while for user-space
applications the page size is supposed to be transparent, there's
still some use of that extra information. In particular it's possible
to align data structures or code/data sections on page boundary, etc.

For these tricks to become possible tools which pack data (think of
the linker, like GNU "ld") need to be informed of the page size to
be considered.

Obviously, there're some sane defaults which are being used most of
the time, so we even think about that peculiarity, but when non-default
value needs to be used, GNU "ld" accepts 2 properties related to page
size:

 -z common-page-size=XXX
 -z max-page-size=YYY

And while in thery those might be different (but always "common" <= "max"),
and that might make sense if we build for some unknown platfrom,
in case of Buildroot when we build entire target's filesystem and so
know exactly the configuration we're targeting to, we may safely assume
"common-page-size"="max-page-size".

See a lengthy discussion in this thread [1].

Fixes:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/c8b2f331c98453670cd982558144c4fd84674a3d/ (uclibc)
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/3a22f7aac38145b26c549254b819f87329e7a77e/ (glibc)

And while at it, recover use of "XX-page-size" for ARC, as with [2]
moving page size selection in the generic code we've got unexpected
override for ARC (note "=", but not "+="):
