feat(cpufeat): add support for FEAT_IDTE3
This patch adds support for FEAT_IDTE3, which introduces support for handling the trapping of Group 3 and Group 5 (only GMID_EL1) registers to EL3 (unless trapped to EL2). IDTE3 allows EL3 to modify the view of ID registers for lower ELs, and this capability is used to disable fields of ID registers tied to disabled features.
The ID registers are initially read as-is and stored in context. Then, based on the feature enablement status for each world, if a particular feature is disabled, its corresponding field in the cached ID register is set to Res0. When lower ELs attempt to read an ID register, the cached ID register value is returned. This allows EL3 to prevent lower ELs from accessing feature-specific system registers that are disabled in EL3, even though the hardware implements them.
The emulated ID register values are stored primarily in per-world context, except for certain debug-related ID registers such as ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 and ID_AA64DFR1_EL1, which are stored in the cpu_data and are unique to each PE. This is done to support feature asymmetry that is commonly seen in debug features.
FEAT_IDTE3 traps all Group 3 ID registers in the range op0 == 3, op1 == 0, CRn == 0, CRm == {2–7}, op2 == {0–7} and the Group 5 GMID_EL1 register. However, only a handful of ID registers contain fields used to detect features enabled in EL3. Hence, we only cache those ID registers, while the rest are transparently returned as is to the lower EL.
This patch updates the CREATE_FEATURE_FUNCS macro to generate update_feat_xyz_idreg_field() functions that disable ID register fields on a per-feature basis. The enabled_worlds scope is used to disable ID register fields for security states where the feature is not enabled.
This EXPERIMENTAL feature is controlled by the ENABLE_FEAT_IDTE3 build flag and is currently disabled by default.

refactor(el3-runtime): move context security states to context.h
The three security states (S, NS, RL) are architecturally quite consistent - anything that uses them has the same numerical assignments (0, 1, 2) and they are quite convenient for indexing. However, we're not as consistent in tf-a and this is defined in a few places. Since cpu_data has a dependency on the context management library, use its security state convention in a few more places and take away this responsibility from cpu_data.

fix(el3-runtime): replace CTX_ESR_EL3 with CTX_DOUBLE_FAULT_ESR
ESR_EL3 value is updated when an exception is taken to EL3 and its value does not change until a new exception is taken to EL3. We need to save ESR in context memory only when we expect nested exception in EL3.
The scenarios where we would expect nested EL3 execution are related with FFH_SUPPORT, namely 1.Handling pending async EAs at EL3 boundry - It uses CTX_SAVED_ESR_EL3 to preserve origins esr_el3 2.Double fault handling - Introduce an explicit storage (CTX_DOUBLE_FAULT_ESR) for esr_el3 to take care of DobuleFault.
As the ESR context has been removed, read the register directly instead of its context value in RD platform.

perf(cm): drop ZCR_EL3 saving and some ISBs and replace them with root context
SVE and SME aren't enabled symmetrically for all worlds, but EL3 needs to context switch them nonetheless. Previously, this had to happen by writing the enable bits just before reading/writing the relevant context. But since the introduction of root context, this need not be the case. We can have these enables always be present for EL3 and save on some work (and ISBs!) on every context switch.
We can also hoist ZCR_EL3 to a never changing register, as we set its value to be identical for every world, which happens to be the one we want for EL3 too.

refactor(cm): remove el1 context when SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=1
* Currently, EL1 context is included in cpu_context_t by default for all the build configurations. As part of the cpu context structure, we hold a copy of EL1, EL2 system registers, per world per PE. This context structure is enormous and will continue to grow bigger with the addition of new features incorporating new registers.
* Ideally, EL3 should save and restore the system registers at its next lower exception level, which is EL2 in majority of the configurations.
* This patch aims at optimising the memory allocation in cases, when the members from the context structure are unused. So el1 system register context must be omitted when lower EL is always x-EL2.
* "CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS" is the internal build flag which gets set, when SPD=spmd and SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=1 or ENABLE_RME=1. It indicates, the system registers at EL2 are context switched for the respective build configuration. Here, there is no need to save and restore EL1 system registers, while x-EL2 is enabled.
Henceforth, this patch addresses this issue, by taking out the EL1 context at all possible places, while EL2 (CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS) is enabled, there by saving memory.

feat(simd): introduce simd context helper APIs
This patch adds the common API to save and restore FP and SVE. When SVE is enabled we save and restore SVE which automatically covers FP. If FP is enabled while SVE is not, then we save and restore FP only.
The patch uses simd_ctx_t to save and restore both FP and SVE which means developers need not use fp or sve routines directly. Once all the calls to fpregs_context_* are replaced with simd_ctx_*, we can remove fp_regs_t data structure and macros (taken care in a following patch).
simd_ctx_t is currently allocated in section of its own. This will go into BSS section by default but platform will have option of relocating it to a different section by overriding in plat.ld.S.

refactor(cm): convert el1-ctx assembly offset entries to c structure
Currently the EL1 part of the context structure (el1_sysregs_t), is coupled with feature flags reducing the context memory allocation for platforms, that don't enable/support all the architectural features at once.
Similar to the el2 context optimization commit-"d6af234" this patch further improves this section by converting the assembly context-offset entries into a c structure. It relies on garbage collection of the linker removing unreferenced structures from memory, as well as aiding in readability and future maintenance. Additionally, it eliminates the #ifs usage in 'context_mgmt.c' source file.

feat(cm): add explicit context entries for ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT
* Currently, "ERRATA_SPECUALTIVE_AT" errata is enabled by default for few cores and they need context entries for saving and restoring EL1 regs "SCTLR_EL1 and TCR_EL1" registers at all times.
* This prevents the mechanism of decoupling EL1 and EL2 registers, as EL3 firmware shouldn't be handling both simultaneously.
* Depending on the build configuration either EL1 or EL2 context structures need to included, which would result in saving a good amount of context memory.
* In order to achieve this it's essential to have explicit context entries for registers supporting "ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT".
* This patch adds two context entries under "errata_speculative_at" structure to assist this errata and thereby allows decoupling EL1 and EL2 context structures.
