MIPS: add gxemul-malta_defconfig
GXemul supports MIPS Malta but with some limitations. The most notable problems: * PCI-enabled barebox just hangs under GXemul; * by default gxemul uses 5Kc processor, so we have to force MIPS32R1 processor usage. To fix these problems the special gxemul-malta_defconfig is introduced and the board's documentation is updated.

+Using GXemul
+------------
+
+GXemul supports MIPS Malta except PCI stuff.
+You can use GXemul to run little-endian barebox (use gxemul-malta_defconfig).

+N.B. There is no need to swap words in ``zbarebox.bin`` for little-endian GXemul!
