This patch adds gpio support of Altera PIO component to the
nios2-generic board. Though it drives only gpio_led at the
moment, it supports bidirectional port to control bit-banging
I2C, NAND flash busy status or button switches, etc.

This is a generic approach to port u-boot for nios2 boards.
You may find the usage of this approach on the nioswiki,
http://nioswiki.com/DasUBoot
A fpga parameter file, which contains base address information
and drivers declaration, is generated from Altera's hardware system
description sopc file using tools.
The example fpga parameter file is compatible with EP1C20, EP1S10
and EP1S40 boards. So these boards can be removed after this commit.
Though epcs controller is removed to cut the dependency of altera_spi
driver.
