feat(el3-runtime): modify vector entry paths
Vector entries in EL3 from lower ELs, first check for any pending async EAs from lower EL before handling the original exception. This happens when there is an error (EA) in the system which is not yet signaled to PE while executing at lower EL. During entry into EL3 the errors (EA) are synchronized causing async EA to pend at EL3.
On detecting the pending EA (via ISR_EL1.A) EL3 either reflects it back to lower EL (KFH) or handles it in EL3 (FFH) based on EA routing model.
In case of Firmware First handling mode (FFH), EL3 handles the pended EA first before returing back to handle the original exception.
While in case of Kernel First handling mode (KFH), EL3 will return back to lower EL without handling the original exception. On returing to lower EL, EA will be pended. In KFH mode there is a risk of back and forth between EL3 and lower EL if the EA is masked at lower EL or priority of EA is lower than that of original exception. This is a limitation in current architecture but can be solved in future if EL3 gets a capability to inject virtual SError.

refactor(cpufeat): enable FEAT_RAS for FEAT_STATE_CHECKED
At the moment we only support FEAT_RAS to be either unconditionally compiled in, or to be not supported at all.
Add support for runtime detection (FEAT_RAS=2), by splitting is_armv8_2_feat_ras_present() into an ID register reading function and a second function to report the support status. That function considers both build time settings and runtime information (if needed), and is used before we access RAS related registers.
Also move the context saving code from assembly to C, and use the new is_feat_ras_supported() function to guard its execution.
Change the FVP platform default to the now supported dynamic option (=2), so the right decision can be made by the code at runtime.
