Add a shell script that generates the ARM trampoline page.

This generates a page of 340 trampolines, aligned within one page. The
trampolines use pc-relative addressing to reference config data
(context, jump address) from a page placed directly prior to the
trampoline page. This can be used on systems -- such as iOS -- that do not
support writable, executable memory by remapping the executable page
containing the trampolines directly above a newly allocated writable
config page.
