New BSP Advice

We will send in a patch at some point.

The BSPs are two new BSP based off the existing STM32F4 BSP. The 
motivation is to keep the old BSP that includes only RTEMS contributed 
code. The new BSP includes lots of 3rd party ST code to make development 
and supporting multiple processors easier.

The change will probably be broken into a few pieces:

ADD STM32 HAL code
Add Shared STM32F7 and STM32F4 code.
Add each BSP
Add CAN driver to RTEMS
Add CAN driver implementation to the BSPs


The reason fro breaking up the HAL code into a separate commit is that 
it adds hundreds of files that make it hard to find the relevant new 
code written by Vecna.

Thanks for the info,

Isaac
