This separation makes maintenance of code easier because those low-level
interrupt- or exception handling routines are pretty static and usually
require not much care while start-up code is a subject of modifications
and enhancements.

Even though ARCompact and ARCv2 are not binary compatible most of
assembly instructions are used in both. With this change we'll get rid
of duplicate code.
Still IVTs are implemented differently so we're keeping them in separate
files.

As a preparation to ARCv2 port submission we rename "arc700" folder to
"arcv1" which stands for ARCv1 ISA also known as ARCompact.
This will allow us to add more flavours of binary-compatible ARCv1 CPUs
like ARC600 if needed later on and all required ARCv2 CPUs (which are
binary incompatible with ARCv1) in "arcv2" folder in subsequent commits.

Even though existing implementation works fine in preparation to
submission of ARCv2 architecture we need this change.
In case of ARCv2 interrupt vector table consists of just addresses
of corresponding handlers. And if those addresses will be in .text
section then assembler will encode them as everything in .text section
as middle-endian and then on real execution CPU will read swapped
addresses and will jump into the wild.
Once introduced new section is situated so .text section remains the
first which allows us to use common linker option for linking everything
to a specified CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

Depending on MMU presence in CPU there're differences in HW behavior.
For example address of instruction that caused exception is put in
ECR register if MMU exists and in ERET register otherwise.

Exception cause register (ECR) contains value that describes a reason
for exception that has happened. This helps a lot to figure-out what
went wrong.
Now we print this register contents when dumping registers.
