ARC: allow selection of MMU page size

Modern ARC cores (those sporting MMU of version 3 and 4) allow selection
of different page sizes (4, 8 or 16 kB) during ASIC design creation.
And it's important to build a toolchain with page size setting that matches
hardware.

Otherwise user-space applications will fail on execution due to
unexpected data layout/alignment etc.

[Thomas: slightly improve help text, fix indentation of help text.]

MMU starting from version 3 (found in ARC 770) and now
version 4 (found in ARC HS38) allows the selection of the
page size during ASIC design creation.
The following options are available for MMU v3 and v4: 4kB,
8kB and 16 kB.
The default is 8 kB (that really matches the only page size
in MMU v2). It is important to build a toolchain with page
size matching the hardware configuration. Otherwise
user-space applications will fail at runtime.
