Allow manually setting the AArch32 instruction set
At the moment the AArch32 instruction set isn't specified in the command line, which means that the compiler is free to choose the one it sees fit. This decision may change between compiler versions, so it is better to specify it manually. The build option AARCH32_INSTRUCTION_SET has been introduced for this reason. This option can be set to T32 or A32 to pass the correct flags to the compiler. The current behaviour is to default to T32 due to it's smaller size.
