tty: serial: add driver for the SiFive UART

Add a serial driver for the SiFive UART, found on SiFive FU540 devices
(among others).

The underlying serial IP block is relatively basic, and currently does
not support serial break detection.  Further information on the IP
block can be found in the documentation and Chisel sources:

    https://static.dev.sifive.com/FU540-C000-v1.0.pdf

    https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/tree/master/src/main/scala/devices/uart

This driver was written in collaboration with Wesley Terpstra
<wesley@sifive.com>.

Tested on a SiFive HiFive Unleashed A00 board, using BBL and the open-
source FSBL (using a DT file based on what's targeted for mainline).

This revision incorporates changes based on comments by Julia Lawall
<julia.lawall@lip6.fr>, Emil Renner Berthing <kernel@esmil.dk>, and
Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>.  Thanks also to Andreas for testing
the driver with his userspace and reporting a bug with the
set_termios implementation.

Select this option if you are building a kernel for a device that
contains a SiFive UART IP block. This type of UART is present on
SiFive FU540 SoCs, among others.

Select this option if you would like to use a SiFive UART as the
system console.
Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
(/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=ttySIFx". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader about how to pass options to the kernel at
boot time.)
