Expose the RTL8730E general-purpose UARTs through the shared Ameba
serial driver (arch/arm/src/common/ameba/ameba_uart.c) by adding the
chip-specific glue, build wiring and a board port table. The change is
gated by CONFIG_AMEBA_UART (default disabled); the LOG-UART keeps the
console and /dev/ttyS0.
Chip glue (ameba_uart_chip.h) supplies the three UART controller
register bases, GIC IRQ numbers (SPI 50/51/52 -> NuttX IRQ 82/83/84),
APB clock masks and pin-mux codes. The board registers UART0-2 as
/dev/ttyS1-3 at 115200 8N1; UART3 is reserved for Bluetooth. Pads are
picked from the EVB break-out (the UART crossbar maps each controller to
many pads, so this is purely a board choice).
Also fix an RX-timeout interrupt storm in the shared driver: the
RX-timeout status (LSR bit9) is latched and is not cleared by draining
the RX FIFO, so on a level-triggered GIC (RTL8730E) the ISR must
explicitly write TOICF, matching the vendor SDK serial_api.c. The
extra register write is harmless on the NVIC-based M33 Ameba parts and
was regression-tested on them.

Add NuttX support for the Realtek AmebaSmart (RTL8730E) running on the
CA32 (Cortex-A32) application core, with the KM4/KM0 cores kept as
vendor firmware (KM4 acts as the WiFi network processor over WHC IPC).
Stage 1 bring-up, hardware verified:
- CA32 boot / exception vectors / MMU + page allocator / heap
- LOGUART console (RX via KM0-owned IPC + shared memory)
- IRQ controller, timer, serial
- On-chip SPI NOR flash MTD -> littlefs mounted at /data
- WHC-host WiFi netdev (STA): scan / connect / DHCP, verified end to
end (association -> 4-way -> DHCP -> ping, bidirectional TCP)
IC-agnostic Ameba glue is shared from arch/arm/src/common/ameba via a
relative VPATH entry (matching the rtl8721dx pattern), which also avoids
the empty mkdeps --dep-path that a leading-":" VPATH entry produced and
which intermittently broke parallel .ddc dependency generation.
The FIP packaging / flash image assembly is driven by
common/ameba/tools/ameba_smart_flash.sh from the board scripts.
Vendor blobs and build artefacts under the board prebuilt/ directory are
kept out of the tree via prebuilt/.gitignore.
