core: spmc: Add support for raw binary format SPs

The current SP loading mechanism is using a similar ELF format as
GP TAs. The new SP format is a flat binary which doesn't require the
presence of an ELF loader and it doesn't have any SPMC specific ties.
These properties make the format the one that can be used across
different SPMC implementations. Combined with the load address relative
memory regions the sections of the binary can be mapped in a similar
way as with ELF files.
The elf-format field of the SP manifest selects the ELF based or the
binary format loading mechanism.
