Basic StarFive JH7100 RISC-V SoC support

This adds support for the StarFive JH7100 RISC-V SoC. The SoC has many
devices that need non-coherent DMA operations to work which isn't
upstream yet[1], so this just adds basic support to boot up, get a
serial console, blink an LED and reboot itself. Unlike the Allwinner D1
this chip doesn't use any extra pagetable bits, but instead the DDR RAM
appears twice in the memory map, with and without the cache.

The JH7100 is a test chip for the upcoming JH7110 and about 300 BeagleV
Starlight Beta boards were sent out with them as part of a now cancelled
BeagleBoard.org project. However StarFive has produced more of the
JH7100s and will be selling VisionFive boards with them soon[2].
