Promote armv8r-none-eabihf target to Tier 2

[thejpster]

This PR promotes armv8r-none-eabihf to Tier 2, joining armv7r-none-eabi, armv7r-none-eabihf and armv7a-none-eabi.

This PR wil be rebased once #146419 completes the queue.

• A tier 2 target must have value to people other than its maintainers. (It may
  still be a niche target, but it must not be exclusively useful for an
  inherently closed group.)

The armv8r-none-eabihf target is for the Arm Cortex-R52 processor, as found in a number of Automotive SoCs that have just been released, or are about to be released. Currently SoCs are available from NXP and Renesas.

• A tier 2 target must have a designated team of developers (the "target
  maintainers") available to consult on target-specific build-breaking issues,
  or if necessary to develop target-specific language or library implementation
  details. This team must have at least 2 developers.

The Embedded Devices Working Group's Arm Team have just started maintaining this target.

• The target must not place undue burden on Rust developers not specifically
  concerned with that target. Rust developers are expected to not gratuitously
  break a tier 2 target, but are not expected to become experts in every tier 2
  target, and are not expected to provide target-specific implementations for
  every tier 2 target.

This target is highly similar to a number of existing Tier 2 targets, including armv7r-none-eabihf and so it should not add undue burden.

• The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how
  to build for the target using cross-compilation, and explaining how to run
  tests for the target. If at all possible, this documentation should show how
  to run Rust programs and tests for the target using emulation, to allow
  anyone to do so. If the target cannot be feasibly emulated, the documentation
  should explain how to obtain and work with physical hardware, cloud systems,
  or equivalent.

• The target must document its baseline expectations for the features or
  versions of CPUs, operating systems, libraries, runtime environments, and
  similar.

I believe it does.

• If introducing a new tier 2 or higher target that is identical to an existing
  Rust target except for the baseline expectations for the features or versions
  of CPUs, operating systems, libraries, runtime environments, and similar,
  then the proposed target must document to the satisfaction of the approving
  teams why the specific difference in baseline expectations provides
  sufficient value to justify a separate target.

The Armv8-R architecture introduces a new FPU type, the fp-armv8, and so this requires a unique target.

• Tier 2 targets must not leave any significant portions of core or the
  standard library unimplemented or stubbed out, unless they cannot possibly be
  supported on the target.

It has a full libcore, as per the other arm*-none-* targets.

• The code generation backend for the target should not have deficiencies that
  invalidate Rust safety properties, as evaluated by the Rust compiler team.

It should be the same backend as armv7r-none-eabihf and friends, except for FPU support, which is already covered in thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf. There are no issues that I know of.

• If the target supports C code, and the target has an interoperable calling
  convention for C code, the Rust target must support that C calling convention
  for the platform via extern "C". The C calling convention does not need to
  be the default Rust calling convention for the target, however.

The ABI is EABI, the same as many other Arm targets.

• The target must build reliably in CI, for all components that Rust's CI
  considers mandatory.

The https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-ar repository regularly builds this target with -Zbuild-std=core and it seems fine.

• The approving teams may additionally require that a subset of tests pass in
  CI, such as enough to build a functional "hello world" program, ./x.py test --no-run, or equivalent "smoke tests". In particular, this requirement may
  apply if the target builds host tools, or if the tests in question provide
  substantial value via early detection of critical problems.

There are no no-std tests in the tree that I'm aware of.

• Building the target in CI must not take substantially longer than the current
  slowest target in CI, and should not substantially raise the maintenance
  burden of the CI infrastructure. This requirement is subjective, to be
  evaluated by the infrastructure team, and will take the community importance
  of the target into account.

Building libcore is quite fast.

• Tier 2 targets should, if at all possible, support cross-compiling. Tier 2
  targets should not require using the target as the host for builds, even if
  the target supports host tools.

It does.

• In addition to the legal requirements for all targets (specified in the tier
  3 requirements), because a tier 2 target typically involves the Rust project
  building and supplying various compiled binaries, incorporating the target
  and redistributing any resulting compiled binaries (e.g. built libraries,
  host tools if any) must not impose any onerous license requirements on any
  members of the Rust project, including infrastructure team members and those
  operating CI systems. This is a subjective requirement, to be evaluated by
  the approving teams.

Just libcore required (and liballoc). No known issues here.

• Tier 2 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or
  other developers in the community, to ensure that tests pass for the target.

• The target maintainers should regularly run the testsuite for the target

The https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-ar repository will be changed to use the rustup component when available.

and should fix any test failures in a reasonably timely fashion.
