Separate low level flash access from mimxrt flash driver object. Allows
better abstraction from hardware for testing and reuse in other areas (e.g.
bootloader).

The RT1176 has two cores, but the actual firmware supports only the CM7.
There are currently no good plans on how to use the CM4.
The actual MIMXRT1170_EVK board is on par with the existing MIMXRT boards,
with the following extensions:
- Use 64 MB RAM for the heap.
- Support both LAN interfaces as LAN(0) and LAN(1), with LAN(1)
being the 1GB interface.
The dual LAN port interface can eventually be adapted as well for the
RT1062 MCU.
This work was done in collaboration with @alphaFred.
- Moves definition of BOARD_FLASH_SIZE and other header files related to
flash configuration into the Makefile.
- Adds board specific clock_config.h.
- Adds board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h as they are
required by NXP MCU SDK in order to use our own clock_config.h.
- Renames board specific FlexSPI configuration files.
- Updates flash frequency of MIMXRT1020_EVK
- Creates separated flash_config files for QSPI NOR and
QSPI Hyper flash.
- Unifies VFS start address to be @ 1M for 1010 and 1020 boards.
- Unifies 1050EVK boards
- Adds support to both NOR and HyperFlash on boards with
both capabilities.
- Adds automatic FlexRAM initialization to start-up code based on
linker script and NXP HAL.
- Applies code formatting to all files in mimxrt port.
With this change the flash configuration is restructured and
organized. This simplifies the configuration process and
provides a better overview of each board's settings. With the integration
of clock_config.h, board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h we gain better
control of the settings and clock configurations. Furthermore the
implementation of an explicit FlexRAM setup improves the system
performance and allows for performance tuning.

Hyperflash is used by the MIMXRT1050_EVKB, MIMXRT1060_EVK and
MIMXRT1064_EVK boards.
This commit includes:
- add support for Hyperflash
- modify MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK to change from QSPI to
hyperflash.
- minor incidental changes to other boards so they still build
Note: Erasing a sector on the hyperflash is slow. It takes about a second,
which seems too long, but matches the data sheet.
