"Windows friendliness" means a) flipping .thumb and .text directives,
b) always generate Thumb-2 code when asked(*); c) Windows-specific
references to external OPENSSL_armcap_P.
(*) so far *some* modules were compiled as .code 32 even if Thumb-2
was targeted. It works at hardware level because processor can alternate
between the modes with no overhead. But clang --target=arm-windows's
builtin assembler just refuses to compile .code 32...

Some of these scripts would recognise an output parameter if it looks
like a file path. That works both in both the classic and new build
schemes. Some fo these scripts would only recognise it if it's a
basename (i.e. no directory component). Those need to be corrected,
as the output parameter in the new build scheme is more likely to
contain a directory component than not.

As some of ARM processors, more specifically Cortex-Mx series, are
Thumb2-only, we need to support Thumb2-only builds even in assembly.

This facilitates "universal" builds, ones that target multiple
architectures, e.g. ARMv5 through ARMv7. See commentary in
Configure for details.

Modest improvement coefficients mean that code already had some
parallelism and there was not very much room for improvement. Special
thanks to Ted Krovetz for benchmarking the code with such patience.
