It is sometimes useful to see what memory is being allocated early during
boot. Add logging to support this, using a new LOGC_ALLOC category.

malloc_simple() can return 0 if out of memory. Don't call memset
from calloc() in this case but rely on the caller checking
the return value.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Output the pointer returned by each call to malloc(). This can be useful

It's useful to get a a trace of memory allocations in early init. Add a
debug() call to provide that. It can be enabled by adding '#define DEBUG'
to the top of the file.

common/dlmalloc.c is quite big, both in .text and .data usage, therefor
on some boards the SPL is build to use only malloc_simple.c and not the
dlmalloc.c code. This is done in various include/configs/foo.h with the
following construct:
#ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
#define CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
#endif
This commit introduces a SPL_MALLOC_SIMPLE Kconfig bool which allows
selecting this functionality through Kconfig instead.

The gd->malloc_ptr and the gd->malloc_limit are offsets to gd->malloc_base.
But the addr variable contains the absolute address. The new_ptr must be:
addr + bytes - gd->malloc_base.

This should use the align parameter, not bytes. Natural alignment is one
use case but should not be the only one supported by this function.

In the case where the arch defines a custom map_sysmem(), make sure that
including just mapmem.h is sufficient to have these functions as they
are when the arch does not override it.
Also split the non-arch specific functions out of common.h

All callers of malloc should already do error checking, and may even be able
to continue without the alloc succeeding.
Moreover, common/malloc_simple.c is the only user of .rodata.str1.1 in
common/built-in.o when building the SPL, triggering this gcc bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54303
Causing .rodata to grow with e.g. 0xc21 bytes, nullifying all benefits of
using malloc_simple in the first place.

The simple malloc() implementation is used when memory is tight. It provides
a simple buffer with an incrementing pointer.
At present the implementation is inside dlmalloc. Move it into its own file
so that it is easier to find.
Rather than using relocation as a signal that the full malloc() is
available, add a special GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT flag. This signals that the
simple malloc() should no longer be used.
In some cases, such as SPL, even the code space used by the full malloc() is
wasteful. Add a CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE option to provide only the simple
malloc. In this case the full malloc is not available at all. It saves about
1KB of code space and about 0.5KB of data on Thumb 2.
