[PATCH 1/2] ARM/ARM64/RISC-V: pbl: guard constructor support

The PBL ctors source file was compiled and linked for all arches. This
broke compilation for unsupported arches as the references to the
external symbols `__ctors_start` and `__ctors_end` couldn't be resolved
as they are only defined in the PBL linker scripts for ARM/ARM64/RISC-V.

Guard the ctors compilation behind CONFIG_PBL_CONSTRUCTORS and only
enable them for supported arches.

Fixes: bb07ef11d6 ("ARM/ARM64/RISC-V: pbl: add constructor support")
