Some CFLAGS and LDFLAGS previously only enabled with SMALL=1 have
now been enabled for all builds, regardless of the value of SMALL.
Therefore, from now on, SMALL only chooses between -Os and -O2
As discussed in #503, -Os was broken with one of the toolchains
recommended in the platform's README and for that reason we were
using -O2 by default.
This commit sets the default to -Os and updates the README to no
longer recommend the toolchain in question
lpm.c needs to #include lpm.h in order to get the definition of
lpm_periph_permit_pm1_func_t, which made the replacement macros conflict with
the function definitions for the LPM_CONF_ENABLE == 0 case. This change fixes
this issue by #if-ing out the code in lpm.c in that case. Also, the replacement
macro for lpm_register_peripheral() was missing in that case, which is fixed
here.

If a project needs to use some libraries at link stage, then the corresponding
linker options (e.g. '-lm') have to be passed after any .o file depending on
these libraries. Hence, LDFLAGS cannot be used to add such options when invoking
$(LD) in Makefile.cc2538, or it should be moved to the correct location.
Instead, this change adds TARGET_LIBFILES to the correct location, like most
other Contiki targets.

- The default mouse driver is now always named 'contiki.mou'.
- Alternative mouse drivers are present in the disk images.
- Users can select their mouse driver by renaming the files.
Some SoC data requires huge alignments. E.g., the µDMA channel control table has
to be 1024-byte aligned. This table was simply aligned to 1024 bytes in the C
code, which had the following consequences, wasting a lot of RAM:
- As this table could be placed anywhere in .bss, there could be an alignment
gap of up to 1023 bytes between the preceding data and this table.
- The size of this table was also aligned to 1024 bytes, regardless of
UDMA_CONF_MAX_CHANNEL, making this configuration option supposed to save RAM
just useless.
- .bss was also aligned to at least 1024 bytes, creating a huge alignment gap
between .data and .bss.
Instead of relying on the compiler to force this alignment, and on the linker to
automatically place data, this change places carefully such SoC data in RAM
using the linker script. A dedicated section is created to place such SoC data
requiring huge alignments, and it is put at the beginning of the SRAM in order
to ensure a maximal alignment without any gap. In this way, the alignment of
.bss also remains normal, and the size of this table is not constrained by its
alignment, but only by its contents (i.e. by UDMA_CONF_MAX_CHANNEL).
In the case of the µDMA channel control table, the data is still zeroed by
udma_init() (instead of also being zeroed as part of .bss).

Normally, the linker does not sort files and sections matched by wildcards, so
they are placed in the order in which they are seen during link. If numerous
objects with different alignments are mixed, or if objects with unusually large
alignments are present, this very likely leads to a lot of space being wasted
because of accumulated alignment gaps.
This commit forces input sections to be sorted by alignment (unless this is
overridden by the linker script), which decreases the number and the size of
alignment gaps, thus saving space.
For a typical Contiki project, this change saves nearly 1 kiB, mainly in .bss.
Note that this behavior is only enabled if the SMALL make variable is set to 1,
because this makes more sense for a size optimization.

The .nrdata section is volatile, so its initialization must be controlled by the
application, and not be automatically done by the startup code. It should
neither be zeroed like .bss, nor be initialized from data in flash memory like
.data. This was already supposed to be the case, but the output section type of
.nrdata was not set to NOLOAD, causing the generated ELF .nrdata section header
to be of type PROGBITS instead of NOBITS, i.e. load data was generated to be
programmed in RAM, thus producing huge unprogrammable .bin files.

CFS_WRITE implies O_TRUNC which is implemented on CBM DOS by deleting an
exsisting file. Hoewever this succeeds only if the CBM DOS filetype matches.
We need a working O_TRUNC in order to be able to overwrite the contiki.cfg
configuration file.
Note: Now it has be clarified why overwriting the configuration file started to
fail the CBM PFS (platform file system) can be activated for the recently added
ethconfig program.
