    ARM: Tell the linker memset and memcpy are functions.
    
    The memset and memcpy functions are assembled as ARM code, likely because
    that's the default of the assembler. Without special annotation, the assembler
    and linker don't know that those symbols are functions which need special
    handling so that ARM/thumb issues are handled properly. This change adds that
    annotation which gets those functions working in Coreboot which is compiled as
    thumb. Libpayload and depthcharge are compiled as ARM so they don't *need* the
    annotation since it just works out in ARM mode, but it's the safe thing to do
    in case we change that in the future.
    
    We should explicitly select ARM vs. thumb when assembling assembly files to be
    consistent across builds and toolchains.
