Enable specifying out-of-source platform configuration cmake file (#1941)

Resolve #1935, enable specifying out-of-source platform folder with
`cmake .. -DWAMR_BUILD_PLATFORM=new-os
               -DSHARED_PLATFORM_CONFIG=/path/to/new-os/shared_platform.cmake`

# Step 1: Implement platform API layer
-------------------------
Firstly create the folder **`core/shared/platform/new-os`** for platform API layer implementations. In the folder you just created, you must provide the following files:
Firstly create the folder for platform API layer implementations:
* for common platforms, create a folder in **`core/shared/platform/new-os`** in WAMR repository folder, so the implementation can be upstreamed
* for platforms that are internal and its implementation shouldn't be published, it's recommended to create a folder outside of the WAMR repository folder (e.g. have separate repository for platform API layer implementation)
- `platform_internal.h`: It can be used for any platform specific definitions such as macros, data types and internal APIs.
In the folder you just created, you must provide the following files:

- `shared_platform.cmake`: the cmake file will be included by the building script. It is recommended to add a definition for your platform:

Then go to implement the APIs defined in the following header files for the platform abstraction layer:
- [`platform_api_vmcore.h`](../core/shared/platform/include/platform_api_vmcore.h): mandatory for building mini-product (vmcore only). Part of APIs are needed only for Ahead of Time compilation support.
- [`platform_api_vmcore.h`](../core/shared/platform/include/platform_api_vmcore.h): mandatory for building mini-product (vmcore only). Part of the APIs is needed only for Ahead of Time compilation support.
- [`platform_api_extension.h`](../core/shared/platform/include/platform_api_extension.h): mandatory for app-mgr and app-framework. Given that the app-mgr and app-framework are not required for your target platform, you won't have to implement the API defined in the `platform_api_extension.h`.
**common/posix:**
There is posix based implementation of the platform API located in the `platform/common/posix` folder. You can include it if your platform support posix API. refer to platform linux implementation.

**common/math:**
Some platforms such as ZephyrOS don't provide math functions e.g. sqrt, fabs and isnan, then you should include source files under the folder `platform/common/math`.

# Step 2: Create the mini product for the platform
-------------------------
You can build a mini WAMR product which is only the vmcore for you platform. Normally you need to implement the main function which loads a WASM file and run it with the WASM runtime. You don't have to do this step if there is no mini-product need for your platform porting.

```
mkdir build
cd build

```
For platform implementations that are outside of the WAMR repository (e.g. internal platforms), you also need to provide `SHARED_PLATFORM_CONFIG` path:
```
cmake .. -DWAMR_BUILD_PLATFORM=new-os -DSHARED_PLATFORM_CONFIG=/path/to/new-os/shared_platform.cmake
```
