MLECO-1860: Support for Arm GNU Embedded Toolchain

This patch enables compilation of ML use cases bare-metal applications
using Arm GNU Embedded Toolchain. The GNU toolchain can be used instead
of the Arm Compiler that was already supported.

The GNU toolchain is also set as the default toolchain when building
applications for the MPS3 target.

Note: The version of GNU toolchain must be 10.2.1 or higher.

-If the TensorFlow source tree is not in its default expected location,
-set the path using `TENSORFLOW_SRC_PATH`.
-Similarly, if the Ethos-U55 driver is not in the default location,
-`ETHOS_U55_DRIVER_SRC_PATH` can be used to configure the location. For example:
-
-```commandline
-cmake \
-    -DTARGET_PLATFORM=mps3 \
-    -DTARGET_SUBSYSTEM=sse-300 \
-    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=scripts/cmake/bare-metal-toolchain.cmake \

-    -DETHOS_U55_DRIVER_SRC_PATH=/my/custom/location/core_driver \
-    -DUSE_CASE_BUILD=inference_runner ..
-```
-
-Also, `CMSIS_SRC_PATH` parameter can be used to override the CMSIS sources used for compilation used by TensorFlow by
-default. For example, to use the CMSIS sources fetched by the ethos-u helper script, we can use:
-
-```commandline
-cmake \
-    -DTARGET_PLATFORM=mps3 \
-    -DTARGET_SUBSYSTEM=sse-300 \
-    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=scripts/cmake/bare-metal-toolchain.cmake \

-    -DETHOS_U55_DRIVER_SRC_PATH=../ethos-u/core_software/core_driver \
-    -DCMSIS_SRC_PATH=../ethos-u/core_software/cmsis \
-    -DUSE_CASE_BUILD=inference_runner ..
