[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] ARC: allow selection of MMU page size

Modern ARC cores (those sporting MMU of version 3 and 4) allow selection
of different page sizes (4, 8 or 16 kB) during ASIC design creation.
And it's important to build a toolchain with page size setting that matches
hardware.

Otherwise user-space applications will fail on execution due to
unexpected data layout/alignment etc.
