ARM: make gd a function call for LTO and set via set_gd() 

On ARM, the gd pointer is stored in registers r9 / x18. For this the
-ffixed-r9 / -ffixed-x18 flag is used when compiling, but using global
register variables causes errors when building with LTO, and these
errors are very difficult to overcome.

Richard Biener says [1]:
  Note that global register vars shouldn't be used with LTO and if they
  are restricted to just a few compilation units the recommended fix is
  to build those CUs without -flto.

We cannot do this for U-Boot since all CUs use -ffixed-reg flag.

It seems that with LTO we could in fact store the gd pointer differently
and gain performance or size benefit by allowing the compiler to use
r9 / x18. But this would need more work.

So for now, when building with LTO, go the clang way, and instead of
declaring gd a global register variable, we make it a function call via
macro.
