781e1a44e0 feat(cm): enhance the cpu_context memory report
Currently, as part of the context_memory report, we explicitly
list the EL3, EL1 and EL2 registers and memory usage per CPU
for each world. The remaining bits in the cpu_context_t structure
are grouped and listed as other section.

This patch enhances this part, by individually listing all the
remaining bits (GPREGS, PAUTH_REGS) separately providing
a much detailed overview of the context memory consumption
amongst the registers.

The patch has been tested on the CI with the following patch
and the results are summarised precisely.

a0674ab081 refactor(cm): remove el1 context when SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=1
* Currently, EL1 context is included in cpu_context_t by default
  for all the build configurations.
  As part of the cpu context structure, we hold a copy of EL1, EL2
  system registers, per world per PE. This context structure is
  enormous and will continue to grow bigger with the addition of
  new features incorporating  new registers.

* Ideally, EL3 should save and restore the system registers at its next
  lower exception level, which is EL2 in majority of the configurations.

* This patch aims at optimising the memory allocation in cases, when
  the members from the context structure are unused. So el1 system
  register context must be omitted when lower EL is always x-EL2.

* "CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS" is the internal build flag which gets set,
  when SPD=spmd and SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=1 or ENABLE_RME=1.
  It indicates, the system registers at EL2 are context switched for
  the respective build configuration. Here, there is no need  to save
  and restore EL1 system registers, while x-EL2 is enabled.

Henceforth, this patch addresses this issue, by taking out the EL1
context at all possible places, while EL2 (CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS) is
enabled, there by saving memory.

bfef8b908e feat(context-mgmt): report context memory usage
This patch provides a reporting functionality to display the memory
consumed by the context in each security state and for each exception
level. Flag PLATFORM_REPORT_CTX_MEM_USE enables or disables this
feature.
