Currently MDCR_EL3 register value is same for all the
worlds(Non-secure, Secure, Realm and Root).
With this approach, features enable/disable settings
remain same across all the worlds. This is not ideal as
there must be flexibility in controlling feature as per
the requirements for individual world.
The patch addresses this by providing MDCR_EL3 a per world
value. Features with identical values for all the worlds are
grouped under ``manage_extensions_common`` API.

Combining the EL2 and EL3 enablement code necessitates that it must be
called at el3_exit, which is the only place with enough context to make
the decision of what needs to be set.
Decouple them to allow them to be called from elsewhere.

At the moment we only support FEAT_BRBE to be either unconditionally
compiled in, or to be not supported at all.
Add support for runtime detection (ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS=2), by splitting
is_feat_brbe_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 BRBE related registers.
The FVP platform decided to compile in support unconditionally (=1),
even though FEAT_BRBE is an ARMv9 feature, so is not available with the
FVP model's default command line.
Change that to the now supported dynamic option (=2), so the right
decision can be made by the code at runtime.

This change adds "FEAT_BRBE" to be part of feature detection mechanism.
Previously feature enablement flags were of boolean type, possessing
either 0 or 1. With the introduction of feature detection procedure
we now support three states for feature enablement build flags(0 to 2).
Accordingly, "ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS" flag is now modified from boolean
to numeric type to align with the feature detection.

This patch enables access to the branch record buffer control registers
in non-secure EL2 and EL1 using the new build option ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS.
It is disabled for all secure world, and cannot be used with ENABLE_RME.
This option is disabled by default, however, the FVP platform makefile
enables it for FVP builds.
