Only use CPU_Per_CPU_control if it contains at least one filed. In GNU
C empty structures have a size of zero. In C++ structures have a
non-zero size. In case CPU_PER_CPU_CONTROL_SIZE is defined to zero,
then this structure is not used anymore.

Add PER_CPU_OFFSET_HEIR. Move Per_CPU_Control::executing and
Per_CPU_Control::heir for easy offset calculation.

Use a per-CPU thread dispatch disable level. So instead of one global
thread dispatch disable level we have now one instance per processor.
This is a major performance improvement for SMP. On non-SMP
configurations this may simplifiy the interrupt entry/exit code.
The giant lock is still present, but it is now decoupled from the thread
dispatching in _Thread_Dispatch(), _Thread_Handler(),
_Thread_Restart_self() and the interrupt entry/exit. Access to the
giant lock is now available via _Giant_Acquire() and _Giant_Release().
The giant lock is still implicitly acquired via
_Thread_Dispatch_decrement_disable_level().
The giant lock is only acquired for high-level operations in interrupt
handlers (e.g. release of a semaphore, sending of an event).
As a side-effect this change fixes the lost thread dispatch necessary
indication bug in _Thread_Dispatch().
A per-CPU thread dispatch disable level greatly simplifies the SMP
support for the interrupt entry/exit code since no spin locks have to be
acquired in this area. It is only necessary to get the current
processor index and use this to calculate the address of the own per-CPU
control. This reduces the interrupt latency considerably.
All elements for the interrupt entry/exit code are now part of the
Per_CPU_Control structure: thread dispatch disable level, ISR nest level
and thread dispatch necessary. Nothing else is required (except CPU
port specific stuff like on SPARC).

Add and use new CPU port define CPU_SIZEOF_POINTER. It must be an
integer literal that can be used by the assembler. This value will be
used to calculate offsets of structure members. These offsets will be
used in assembler code.
The size of a pointer is part of the application binary interface (ABI)
and thus independent of the actual programming language. The compiler
will provide defines to determine the current ABI. We use these defines
to select the appropriate CPU_SIZEOF_POINTER value.
Static assertions in the new file "cpukit/score/src/percpuasm.c" will
ensure that the value of CPU_SIZEOF_POINTER is consistent with the
current compiler settings. Also the offset values used by assembler
code are verfied.
