Generate/Link secure object file

Cortex v8 architecture based devices support secure/non-secure builds.
Secure build should generate the object file/library from elf during link
process which is used by non-secure binary during linking.

--out-implib=file specifies output library in which symbols are exported
--cmse-implib requests libraries mentioned above are secure gateway
libraries

Creation of secure library is done as part of linking process in GCC/ARMC6/IAR
Non-Secure project should add this secure object file as part of the
linking process.
Secure library is named as cmse_lib.o.
