arm: ARMv4 assembly compatibility



There is currently a problem that U-Boot can not work on ARMv4
because assembly imlementations of memcpy() and some other functions
use "bx lr" instruction that is not available on ARMv4 ("mov pc, lr"
should be used instead).

A working preprocessor-based solution to this problem is found in
arch/arm/lib/relocate.S. Move it to the "ret" macro in
arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h and change all "bx lr" code
to "ret lr" in functions that may run on ARMv4. Linux source code
deals with this problem in the same manner.

v1 -> v2:
