__switch_to() is final step of context switch, swapping kernel modes
stack (and callee regs) of outgoing task with next task.
It is also the starting point of stack unwinging of a sleeping task and
captures SP, FP, BLINK and the corresponding dwarf info. Back when
dinosaurs still roamed around, ARC gas didn't support CFI pseudo ops and
gcc was responsible for generating dwarf info. Thus it had to be written
in "C" with inline asm to do the hand crafting of stack. The function
prologue (and crucial saving of blink etc) was still gcc generated but
not visible in code. Likewise dwarf info was missing.
Now with modern tools, we can make things more obvious by writing the
code in asm and adding approproate dwarf cfi pseudo ops.
This is mostly non functional change, except for slight chnages to asm
- ARCompact doesn't support MOV_S fp, sp, so we use MOV

1. detect whether binutils supports the cfi pseudo ops
2. define conditional macros to generate the ops
3. define new ENTRY_CFI/END_CFI to annotate hand asm code.
- Needed because we don't want to emit dwarf info in general ENTRY/END
used by lowest level trap/exception/interrutp handlers as unwinder
gets confused trying to unwind out of them. We want unwinder to
instead stop when it hits onfo those routines
- These provide minimal start/end cfi ops assuming routine doesn't
touch stack memory/regs
