    AArch32: Add support for HLT to Mixed Mode models
    
    The Semihosting v2 protocol requires us to output the Armv8-a HLT instruction
    when in mixed mode (SEMIHOST_V2_MIXED_MODE), however it also requires this to
    be done for Armv7-a and earlier architectures.
    
    The HLT instruction is defined in the undefined encoding space for older
    architectures but simulators such as QEMU already trap on it [1] for all
    architectures and is a requirement for semihosting v2 [2].
    
    Unfortunately the GAS restricts the use of HLT to Armv8-a which requires us to
    use the instruction encodings we want directly in crt0.
    
    This patch does this, I have not updated newlib/libc/* as that is quite out of
    date already.  A proper sync is needed in order to get things back in sync.
    
    A different patch for this would be best.
