Fixed config-related options for the IAR assembler

The IAR assembler doesn't accept '--preinclude', but it accepts -D.
This commit changes the way the config-related macros are propagated
to the IAR assembler to use '-D' instead of '--preinclude'. This is
the only change related to functionality, the others are small,
backward compatible changes to the config code to make passing arguments
to the toolchain instances easier.

Tested by compiled blinky with IAR, GCC_ARM and ARM for K64F.
