[PATCH v2 10/10] ARM: add multi_v7_lpae_defconfig

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzjulienne at suse.de>

The only missing configuration option preventing us from using
multi_v7_defconfig with the Raspberry Pi 4 is ARM_LPAE. It's needed as
the PCIe controller found on the SoC depends on 64bit addressing, yet
can't be included as not all v7 boards support LPAE.

Introduce multi_v7_lpae_defconfig, built off multi_v7_defconfig, which will
avoid us having to duplicate and maintain multiple similar configurations.

Needless to say the Raspberry Pi 4 is not the only platform that can
benefit from this new configuration.
