## Summary

cpukit/score/.../cpu.h: Implement _CPU_Spin_wait()

`_CPU_Spin_wait()` is an assembly function which prevents
aggressive speculative execution by the CPU during spin-wait
loops. Added benefit is reduction of thermal load. This
function is part of the Deterministic Hedged Read Library API.

Similar architecture-specific assembly functions will be needed for other RTEMS_SMP 
capable BSPs that the DHRL API is ported to.
