Simon Glass 8c55761613 Add an option to report panics in a new stack
For particularly nasty errors the stack or stack pointer may be corrupt,
or in a place that we do not want overwritten. Provide and option to
place the stack in a fresh place, assuming you can reach exception_panic().

Note that exception_panic() does not write anything to stack itself.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:10146
TEST=manual:
build for all boards
On snow, cause a panic and see that it is reported correctly.

- EC Lib
This wraps Blizzard driverlib and implements the EC chip interface defined
by Google. See below diagram for architecture.

Build Options
=============
- CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HELP
Try to detect a watchdog that is about to fire, and print a trace.
This is needed on STM32, where the independent watchdog has no early
warning feature and the windowed watchdog has a very short period.
- CONFIG_PANIC_NEW_STACK
When reporting a panic, change to a completely new stack. This might
help get a useful trace out a situation where the stack or stack
pointer has been corrupted.
