Add support for --with-arch=armv7ve

Recent versions of gcc support --with-arch=armv7ve, setting the default for -march to armv7ve which is a variant of armv7-a that amongst others supports virtualisation extensions. To get this past endianness-variant stripping in toolchain.eclass, CTARGET would need to be arm7vee{l,b}-*. The attached patch adds support for armv7ve{l,b}-*.

I still need this. What can I do to get it in?

we don't want to blindly assume "armv7v" == "armv7ve"

How about this approach?

Any thoughts on the approach in the new patch?

@ arm: opinions?

Andreas: Thanks for picking this up! I'm still interested in it and use it as a local patch. It works without problems for me.

Never mind. Worked around it using package.env and EXTRA_ECONF.
