As it turned out we may actually build both initramfs and
SD-based images in one run with just a small tweak in
existing image/Makefile and so we do here.
We're back with one "generic" target for all ARC HS38-based bords.
Kudos to John for his patience and very helpful tips!

Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because:
a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other
components were changing quite dynamically
b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux
But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature
we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored
on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices
that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place.
Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs.
This allows us to use storage-less simulators for testing still.

If we want to boot from SD-card we need to have corresponding
drivers already built-in so there's no point in having these
modules.

Now when ath9k-htc USB dongle works with axs103 in OHCI mode
quite fine adding corresponding features to default configuration.

As of today USB 2.0 (AKA EHCI) doesn't work on axs103 board
and so there's no reason to build corresponding software for it.
Once USB 2.0 gets fixed on axs103 thi patch might be reverted.

This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC HS38 cores.
ARC HS38 is a new generation of ARC cores which utilize ARCv2 ISA.
As with ARC770 we're addind support for 2 boards for now:
[1] Synopsys SDP board (AXS103)
This is the same base-board as in AXS101 but with
FPGA-based CPU-tile where ARCHs38 core is implemented.
[2] nSIM
Again this is the same simulation engine but configured for
new instruction set and features of new CPU.
