- Add `-Wl,--gc-sections` to LDFLAGS
- Add `-fdata-sections` and `-ffunction-sections` to CFLAGS
- Update lpc2387 linker script to keep the isr vector and init
sections when garbage collecting.
- Keep .ctors and .dtors sections (similar to what binutils default
linker script does when building for Linux targets)

Rationale 1: The common part made only sense for (some) NXP ARM7 MCUs,
but was misleading for MCUs like the LPC1768.
Rationale 2: The common part was only used by one specific MCU
implementation - no need to outsource it.
Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
This PR converts tabs to white spaces.
The statement I used for the conversion:
```find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec zsh -c 'expand -t 4 "$0" > /tmp/e && mv /tmp/e "$0"' {} \;```
Afterwards, I had a quick overview of the converted files to prevent odd indentation.
Many modules have subdirectories. Often these subdirectories should only
be included under certain circumstances. Modules that use submodules
currently need to use this pattern:
```make
DIRS = …
all: $(BINDIR)$(MODULE).a
@for i in $(DIRS) ; do $(MAKE) -C $$i ; done ;
include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.base
clean::
@for i in $(DIRS) ; do $(MAKE) -C $$i clean ; done ;
```
This PR moves the `all:` and `clean::` boilerplate into `Makefile.base`.
For many modules the `Makefile` contains a line like
```
MODULE:=$(shell basename $(CURDIR))
```
This conclusively shows that we do not have to set the module name
manually.
This PR removes the need to set the module name manually, if it is the
same as the basename. E.g. for `…/sys/vtimer/Makefile` the variable
make `MODULE` will still be `vtimer`, because it is the basename of the
Makefile.
Closes#993.
We do not need to descend into the modules to know what to do on
`make clean BOARD=blub`. We can just invoke `rm -rf bin/blub`.
This PR only keeps the descending into the USEPKGs, since they might
want to delete cached/downloaded/extracted data.
