Remove 32 bit sparc v7 support
The patch is straighforward: - The sparc32 v8 implementations are moved as the generic ones. - A configure test is added to check for either __sparc_v8__ or __sparc_v9__. - The triple names are simplified and sparc implies sparcv8. The idea is to keep support on sparcv8 architectures that does support CAS instructions, such as LEON3/LEON4. Checked on a sparcv9-linux-gnu and sparc64-linux-gnu. Tested-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com>
