add bare metal ARM Cortex-A targets to rustc

-> `rustc --target armv7-none-eabi` will work

also build rust-std (rustup) components for them

-> `rustup target add armv7-none-eabi` will work

+// libraries and crt*.o are but it's not much of an advantage here); LLD is also
+// faster
+// - `target_os` set to `none`. rationale: matches `thumb` targets
+// - `target_{env,vendor}` set to an empty string. rationale: matches `thumb`
+// targets
+// - `panic_strategy` set to `abort`. rationale: matches `thumb` targets
+// - `relocation-model` set to `static`; also no PIE, no relro and no dynamic
