Automatically build the 'u-boot.imx' (i.e. imx header + u-boot.bin) and 'SPL'
(i.e. imx header + u-boot-spl.bin) make targets for all imx processors
supporting this header, so for arm926ejs, arm1136 and armv7. Some combinations
were missing.
At the same time, fix the build of SPL targets not supporting the imx header on
arm1136. For arm1136, the 'SPL' make target was forced to build in all cases if
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD was defined, even for non-imx platforms or imx setups without
an imx header.

The patch adds SPL for the arm1136 architecture and
inserts SPL (the produced binary) to clobber target
in the main Makefile.

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.
