[boot-wrapper] [PATCH] aarch64: Enable TRBE for the non-secure world

MDCR_EL3.NSTB resets to an UNKNOWN value. Configure it to allow the trace
buffer to use non-secure memory and to permit direct register accesses from
the non-secure world. Before that, just check AA64DFR0_EL1.TraceBuffer and
make sure TRBE is implemented. We still continue to reset MDCR_EL3 register
to zero with the exception of MDCR_EL3.NSPB and MDCR_EL3.NSTB.
