We are about to enable the build without TCG, so CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING
and CONFIG_ARM_COMPATIBLE_SEMIHOSTING cannot be unconditionally set in
default.mak anymore. So reflect the change in a Kconfig.

Instead of using semihosting/Kconfig, use a target-specific file, so
that the change doesn't affect other architectures which might
implement semihosting in a way compatible with KVM.

The selection from ARM_v7M needs to be removed to avoid a cycle during
parsing.

The linux-user build does not use Kconfig. Is it worth it to add
support to it? There's just the semihosting config so far.

Probably not.

I hit this limitation last week trying to restrict libdecnumber to
powerpc targets.

Fabiano, do you see how this can be done easily?

If you grep for Kconfig in the top level meson.build, that code there
could be adapted to also include linux-user targets.

I did some experimenting and I could generate linux-user.mak files with
all the configs from the existing Kconfigs. It would be a matter of
adding the proper CONFIG_SOFTMMU, CONFIG_LINUX_USER options to separate
the two and then hooking up the .mak files with the rest of the
build. That last part I'm not sure how to do.
