docs: update feature support overview

The feature support overview is meant to list all the major features
present in TF-A. It should be precise, non-exhaustive and up-to-date.

Updated the document with new features and removed few unnecessary
details.

- A minimal AArch32 Secure Payload (*SP_MIN*) to demonstrate |PSCI| library
integration with AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software.
- Secure Monitor library code such as world switching, EL1 context management
and interrupt routing.
When a Secure-EL1 Payload (SP) is present, for example a Secure OS, the
AArch64 EL3 Runtime Software must be integrated with a Secure Payload
Dispatcher (SPD) component to customize the interaction with the SP.
- Secure partition manager dispatcher(SPMD) with following two configurations:
- S-EL2 SPMC implementation, widely compliant with FF-A v1.1 EAC0 and initial
support of FF-A v1.2.
- EL3 SPMC implementation, compliant with a subset of FF-A v1.1 EAC0.
- Support for Arm CCA based on FEAT_RME which supports authenticated boot and
execution of RMM with the necessary routing of RMI commands as specified in
RMM Beta 0 Specification.
- A Test SP and SPD to demonstrate AArch64 Secure Monitor functionality and SP
interaction with PSCI.

- Support for the Secure Partition Manager Dispatcher (SPMD) component as a
new standard service.
- Support for ARMv8.3 pointer authentication in the normal and secure worlds.
The use of pointer authentication in the normal world is enabled whenever
architectural support is available, without the need for additional build
flags.
- Position-Independent Executable (PIE) support. Currently for BL2, BL31, and
TSP, with further support to be added in a future release.

- Support for additional platforms.
- Refinements to Position Independent Executable (PIE) support.
- Continued support for the FF-A v1.0 (formally known as SPCI) specification, to enable the
use of secure partition management in the secure world.
- Documentation enhancements.
- Ongoing support for new architectural features, CPUs and System IP.
