The upstream SoftFloat code that was recently incorporated into
ArmSoftFloatLib uses some parameterization to tweak the inlining
and optimization behavior for different compilers.
The custom platform.h file that sets these parameters is based on
the upstream version for Linux/ARM, but was updated to include the
'always_inline' GCC attribute into the INLINE macro, to ensure that
all definitions that are marked as inline are not only inlined into
their callers, but also to ensure that no version of the function is
ever emitted into the object file.
This works fine on recent GCC and Clang, but the latter part turns
out to break on GCC 4.x, resulting duplicate definition linker errors.
Fortunately, the synticatically more appriopriate 'static inline'
works fine on both the recent and the older compilers, so let's switch
to that instead.

Now that we have switched to a new version of the SoftFloat code,
remove the source files that make up the old implementation, and
are no longer referenced.

Update the INF description and the top level .c files in order to
switch to the new version of the SoftFloat library imported as a
Git submodule in the previous patch.
Note that we no longer use the code that travelled a long way from
the 2002 version of the softfloat library via NetBsd and the StdLib
package. Instead, we are using the upstream version unmodified, with
the glue .c file adopted from the OP-TEE project. This approach is
much cleaner and much more maintainable.
Note that support for the RVCT toolchains is being dropped at the same
time. RVCT is mostly untested, and planned to be removed, and so it
makes little sense to go to the trouble of upgrading this library for
RVCT as well.

We've removed BaseTools support for GCC44..GCC47. Drop
ArmPkg/ArmSoftFloatLib build flags that are specific to any of those gcc
versions. (See also commit 01627dba09, "ArmPkg/ArmSoftfloatLib: restrict
-fno-tree-vrp option to GCC46 and GCC47", 2015-12-15).
No GCC44..GCC47 references remain under ArmPkg after this patch.

Building ArmSoftFloatLib with LTO results in errors like

This library is only linked by OpensslLib at the moment, and only
marginally used at runtime, so just disable LTO for it.

The RVCT compiler may emit calls to the various __aeabi_c?cmp??
functions, which return their results via the CPU condition flags
C and Z. According to ARM doc IHI 0043D 'Run-time ABI for the ARM
architecture':
The 3-way comparison functions c*cmple, c*cmpeq and c*rcmple return
their results in the CPSR Z and C flags. C is clear only if the operands
are ordered and the first operand is less than the second. Z is set only
when the operands are ordered and equal.
Add implementations for the double and float variants of the above.

The -fno-tree-vrp option is not required for GCC 4.8 or later, and is not

The ARM softfloat library in ArmSoftfloatLib currently does not build
under RVCT, simply because the code includes system header files that
RVCT does not provide. However, nothing exported by those include files
is actually used by the library when built in SOFTFLOAT_FOR_GCC mode,
so we can just drop all of them.
