mdb runner is quite special as it can be used to run Zephyr on
both simulator (nSIM) and real hardware.
However it is really misleading as same command (west flash)
will run Zephyr in simulation for one board and try to run it
on HW for another board. Things are getting worse for boards
supporting both runs in simulation and on real hardware.
Let's split mdb runner for mdb-hw (for runs on HW) and mdb-nsim
(for runs in simulation) runners.

add 2 cores configuration for
* who want to use 2 cores
* sanitycheck tests, as we found there are
difference between 2 cores and 4 cores, see
report in issue #26794

let mdd runner connect connect cores according to CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS,
e.g.
* CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS = 2, just connect 2 cores
* CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS = 1, just connect 1 core
* CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS = 4, connect all 4 cores

* current supported boards:
* emsk, iotdk, nsim, emsdp, hsdk.
* for the unsupported future boards, pls take a
reference of supported boards' board.cmake.
* mdb runner is required and the default runner for SMP
case, e.g., HSDK and nsim_hs_smp.
* other ARC boards can also choose to use mdb by
setting runner as mdb, e.g. west flash --runner mdb.
* with mdb runner, user can make a debug through mdb gui
* with arc_nsim or opencod runner (default runner), user
can make a debug through gdb cmdline.

Now when ARC development boards are switched to generic OpenOCD
runner we need to explicitly instruct the runner to load Elf but not
binary image (which is a default for OpenOCD runner).
This might be done either manually adding "--use-elf" option to
west's command line or that might be added by default fro affected
boards, which we do exactly now.
Fixes https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/22888.

We used to use "em-starterkit" runner for ARC which is
basically heavy-modified "openocd" runner tweaked to
use GDB for loading and starting Elf files.
Now when loading and running Elf files is possible with generic
"openocd" runner we may us it. So we switch and get rid of
"em-starterkit" as well since we no longer need it.

This commit includes the initial support of ARC HS Development Kit:
* hsdk soc support
* hsdk board support
* no mmu support, so no userspace
* smp support
