Adds armv7 support for firmware-aosp-broadcom-wlan.

I tested this on htc-ace and was able to connect and use wi-fi.

Should it be noarch at all? Does it contain architecture-dependent binaries?

I think it only contains firmware binary *.bin files. I don't know how it precisely works, but I think those are loaded into the wlan module which then executes them, so it probably is architecture independent.

However, I've checked some of the other firmware packages and they too seem to have some architecture set, despite containing only what looks like architecture independent files.

Compare with previous version

We could make all firmware packages "noarch" packages. But most of them are not really needed for all arches, especially the device-specific firmware packages. So having them only built for the arches where we need them seems to be a good idea because then the overall amount of packages that need to be built (across all arches) is lower.

Thanks for the patch @mpiatka, change looks good!
