This new function allows to jump to another execution
environment (VTOR) located at a certain (aligned) address.
It's used to boot firmwares at another location than
`CPU_FLASH_BASE`.
The user needs to ensure that the CPU using this feature
is able to be initialised at least twice while jumping
to the RIOT `reset_handler_default` function, since it
initialises the CPU again (calls cpu_init()).

Refactor cortexm_init to allow bits and pieces of
it to be called separately, while retaining the
current API, too. Needed for non-standard
Cortex-M initialisation, such as with nRF52
SoftDevice.
Instead of using `weak` function definitions, this PR handles
default implementations using `PROVIDES_x` defines, allowing
for cpus/pm realted modules to use their own implementations.
register is deprecated when building C++11 code and removed in C++17,
using it will cause build failures with C++ and -Werror. The register
hint keyword is likely ignored in GCC anyway.
