refactor(cpus): optimize CVE checking
This patch replaces the use of EXTRA functions with using erratum entries check to verify CVE mitigation application for some of the SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_* calls.
Previously, EXTRA functions were individually implemented for each SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_*, an approach that becomes unmanageable with the increasing number of workarounds. By looking up erratum entries for CVE check, the process is streamlined, reducing overhead associated with creating and maintaining EXTRA functions for each new workaround.
New Errata entries are created for SMC workarounds and that is used to target cpus that are uniquely impacted by SMC workarounds.

perf(cpus): make reset errata do fewer branches
Errata application is painful for performance. For a start, it's done when the core has just come out of reset, which means branch predictors and caches will be empty so a branch to a workaround function must be fetched from memory and that round trip is very slow. Then it also runs with the I-cache off, which means that the loop to iterate over the workarounds must also be fetched from memory on each iteration.
We can remove both branches. First, we can simply apply every erratum directly instead of defining a workaround function and jumping to it. Currently, no errata that need to be applied at both reset and runtime, with the same workaround function, exist. If the need arose in future, this should be achievable with a reset + runtime wrapper combo.
Then, we can construct a function that applies each erratum linearly instead of looping over the list. If this function is part of the reset function, then the only "far" branches at reset will be for the checker functions. Importantly, this mitigates the slowdown even when an erratum is disabled.
The result is ~50% speedup on N1SDP and ~20% on AArch64 Juno on wakeup from PSCI calls that end in powerdown. This is roughly back to the baseline of v2.9, before the errata framework regressed on performance (or a little better). It is important to note that there are other slowdowns since then that remain unknown.

refactor(cpus): register DSU errata with the errata framework's wrappers
The existing DSU errata workarounds hijack the errata framework's inner workings to register with it. However, that is undesirable as any change to the framework may end up missing these workarounds. So convert the checks and workarounds to macros and have them included with the standard wrappers.
The only problem with this is the is_scu_present_in_dsu weak function. Fortunately, it is only needed for 2 of the errata and only on 3 cores. So drop it, assuming the default behaviour and have the callers handle the exception.

This involves replacing: * the reset_func with the standard cpu_reset_func_{start,end} to apply errata automatically * the <cpu>_errata_report with the errata_report_shim to report errata automatically ...and for each erratum: * the prologue with the workaround_<type>_start to do the checks and framework registration automatically * the epilogue with the workaround_<type>_end * the checker function with the check_erratum_<type> to make it more descriptive
It is important to note that the errata workaround sequences remain unchanged and preserve their git blame.
Testing was conducted by: * Building for release with all errata flags enabled and running script in change 19136 to compare output of objdump for each errata. Only ERRATA_A75_764081 and ERRATA_A75_790748 could be verified this way, rest had to be manually verified. * Manual comparison of disassembly of converted functions with non- converted functions

refactor(amu): unify ENABLE_AMU and ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1
So far we have the ENABLE_AMU build option to include AMU register handling code for enabling and context switch. There is also an ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1 option, solely to protect the HAFGRTR_EL2 system register handling. The latter needs some alignment with the new feature scheme, but it conceptually overlaps with the ENABLE_AMU option.
Since there is no real need for two separate options, unify both into a new ENABLE_FEAT_AMU name in a first step. This is mostly just renaming at this point, a subsequent patch will make use of the new feature handling scheme.

This patch applies CVE-2022-23960 workarounds for Cortex-A75, Cortex-A73, Cortex-A72 & Cortex-A57. This patch also implements the new SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 and enables necessary discovery hooks for Coxtex-A72, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75 to enable discovery of this SMC via SMC_FEATURES. SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 is implemented for A57/A72 because some revisions are affected by both CVE-2022-23960 and CVE-2017-5715 and this allows callers to replace SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 calls with SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3. For details of SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3, please refer SMCCCv1.4 specification.

Add compile-time errors for HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag
This patch fixes this issue: https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660
The introduced changes are the following:
1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and compilation errors are generated, if needed.
2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e. cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the libraries only of the relevant cores.
3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.
