[boot-wrapper PATCH v3 2/8] aarch64: Rename labels and prepare for lower EL booting

[Jaxson Han <jaxson.han@arm.com>]

Prepare for booting from lower EL. Rename *_el3 relavant labels with
*_el_max and *_no_el3 with *_keep_el. Since the original _no_el3 means
"We neither do init sequence at this highest EL nor drop to lower EL
when entering to kernel", we rename it with _keep_el to make it more
clear for lower EL initialisation.
