Convert CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY to Kconfig
This converts the following to Kconfig: CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY To do this we introduce CONFIG_SYS_HAS_NONCACHED_MEMORY as a bool to gate if we are going to have noncached_... functions available and then continue to use CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY to store the size of said cache. We make this new option depend on both the architectures which implement support and the drivers which make use of it.

-- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
- Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
- typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
- uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
- otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
- some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
- cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
- are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
- cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
- if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
- size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
- one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
- written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
- happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
- buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
- 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).

- Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
