Moved x86/abi.xml to common/abi.xml

x86 doesn't have an abi.xml anymore so moved the x86 page that mips
and arm referenced to be in the common directory. Updated mips and arm
abi.xml files to point to common instead of x86.

13 <para os="a">On the ARM architecture, there are two major ABI types to choose
14 from: EABI and OABI. There is also a Thumb ABI and an Intel IWMMX specific
15 ABI.</para>
16
17 <para os="b">The EABI (Embedded ABI) is newer and supports additional
18 features, faster software floating point operations, and Thumb interworking,
19 but is only compatible with ARMv4t and newer cores. The EABI has
20 sub-ABIs of: aapcs-linux and aapcs. aapcs-linux has standard Linux 4 byte
21 enums while aapcs has variable length enums.</para>
22
23 <para os="c">The OABI (old ABI) is called apcs-gnu and supports ARMv4 and
24 older cores.</para>
