[PATCH v8 27/38] arm64/sme: Provide Kconfig for SME

Now that basline support for the Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) is present
introduce the Kconfig option allowing it to be built. While the feature
registers don't impose a strong requirement for a system with SME to
support SVE at runtime the support for streaming mode SVE is mostly
shared with normal SVE so depend on SVE.
