Currently, we cannot boot Linux with boot-wrapper on Armv8-R AArch64:
1. The Armv8-R AArch64 profile does not support the EL3.
2. The Armv8-R AArch64 EL2 only supports a PMSA, which Linux does not
support. So it's necessary to drop into EL1 before entering the kernel.
3. There is no EL2 booting code for Armv8-R AArch64 and no
configuration for dropping to EL1 in boot-wrapper.

These patches enable boot-wrapper booting Linux with Armv8-R AArch64:
Patch 1 allows boot-wrapper to boot on more platforms.
Patch 2 renames some labels as preparations for booting from lower EL.
Patch 3 remove the redundant setup_stack.
Patch 4-5 does some preparations for lower EL booting.
Patch 6 prepares for GICv3 initialization with EL2.
Patch 7 adds necessary EL2 registers.
Patch 8 adds auto-detection for Armv8-R AArch64 to drop into EL1
before entering the kernel.

Armv8-R AArch64 architecture profile.

---------
v1 -> v2:
1. Split Patch 2 to Patch 2,3,4.
2. Slightly refine some comments.
3. More checks on Armv8-R AArch64.
4. Force setting HCR_EL2 instead of modifying.
