MLECO-1860: Support for Arm GNU Embedded Toolchain

This patch enables compilation of ML use cases bare-metal applications
using Arm GNU Embedded Toolchain. The GNU toolchain can be used instead
of the Arm Compiler that was already supported.

The GNU toolchain is also set as the default toolchain when building
applications for the MPS3 target.

Note: The version of GNU toolchain must be 10.2.1 or higher.
