[PATCH v10 4/9] arm64: Kconfig: Detect toolchain support for LSUI

Since Armv9.6, FEAT_LSUI supplies the load/store instructions for
previleged level to access to access user memory without clearing
PSTATE.PAN bit.
It's enough to add CONFIG_AS_HAS_LSUI only because the code for LSUI uses
individual `.arch_extension` entries.
