[BOOT-WRAPPER PATCH 3/3] aarch64: Enable use of GCS for EL2 and below

FEAT_GCS adds a number of new system registers and instructions. Usage
of some of these can trap to EL3 unless SCR_EL3.GCSEn is set, and so
boot-wrapper support is necessary.
Support for FEAT_GCS was added to Linux in the v6.13-rc1 merge window
without any boot-wrapper support. Consequently when GCS is enabled in a
model, the kernel will hang when attempting to write to GCS control
registers, which happens early in boot when the kernel configures EL2,
before any console output is produced.
FEAT_GCS is described in the latest ARM ARM (ARM DDI 0487K.a), which can
be found at:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/ka/?lang=en
Add boot-wrapper support for FEAT_GCS. In addition to setting
SCR_EL3.GCSEn, it's necessary to initialize GCSCR_EL2, GCSCR_EL1, and
GCSCRE0_EL1 such that older kernel which are not aware of GCS don't find
GCS enabled unexpectedly.
