common: Rewrite hiding the end of memory

Browse Source 
As the name may be confusing, the CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE reserves
some memory from the end of ram, tracked by gd->ram_size. It is not
always the top of u-boot visible memory. Rewrite the macro with a
weak function to provide flexibility for complex calcuation. Legacy
use of this macro is still supported.
