configs/stm32f429_disco_xip: fix boot failure after uClibc bump

Browse Source 
Since uClibc was bumped to 1.0.58 (c7fef3704c, "package/uclibc:
bump to 1.0.58"), the board fails to boot:

    sh: out of memory
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100
    CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 6.1.167 #2
    Hardware name: STM32 (Device Tree Support)

    ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100 ]---

The STM32F429 has no MMU, and uClibc's standard malloc() implementation
returns NULL for allocations performed during early init on this target,
causing init to abort immediately.

Fix this by switching to MALLOC_SIMPLE, a plain mmap-based allocator
meant for small/noMMU systems, via a uClibc config fragment. The
fragment is placed under board/stmicroelectronics/common/stm32f4xx/,
rather than under the board-specific directory, so that it can be
shared with the STM32F469, another Cortex-M4/noMMU board affected by
the same issue, which will be fixed in a subsequent patch.
