platform: smarter detection of big cores

Browse Source 
If big_core  is not explicitly specified by the user, it is populated by
Platform (provided the target has exactly two clusters). Perviously this
was done bu assuming that the target boots on little cluster and that
the last CPU is big. This is still used as a fallback, but now Platform
is ware of the names of big CPUs in currently existing big.LITTLE
configurations and uses that first to identify the big.
