* startup/bspstart.c: Add capability for bootcard.c BSP Initialization Framework to ask the BSP where it has memory for the RTEMS Workspace and C Program Heap. These collectively are referred to as work area. If the BSP supports this, then it does not have to include code to split the available memory between the two areas. This reduces the amount of code in the BSP specific bspstart.c file. Additionally, the shared framework can initialize the C Library, call rtems_debug_enable(), and dirty the work area memory. Until most/all BSPs support this new capability, if the BSP supports this, it should call RTEMS_BSP_BOOTCARD_HANDLES_RAM_ALLOCATION from its configure.ac. When the transition is complete, this autoconf macro can be removed.
