arm: Treat Write-Through Normal memory as Non-Cacheable

A completed write to a memory location that is Write-Through Cacheable
has to be visible to an external observer without the need of explicit
cache maintenance. This change adds support for Write-Through
Cacheable Normal memory and treats it as Non-cacheable. This incurs a
small penalty as accesses to the memory do not fill in the cache but
does not violate the properties of the memory type.
