The ARM v7M allows setting the vector table either in
the boot memory or in the internal SRAM memory, controlled
by Bit 29 in the Vector Table Base register. This implies
that the OS vector table needs to be copied to the internal RAM.

New option CONFIG_COPY_VECTOR_TABLE_TO_SRAM_ADDR allows specification
of the desired destination for the OS vector table.
