[RFC PATCH 2/6] firmware: smccc: Detect hypervisor via RSI host call in CCA Realms

Modify arm_smccc_hypervisor_has_uuid() to check is_realm_world() and
use rsi_host_call() to query the hypervisor vendor UUID when inside a
Realm. The realm path is factored into a helper,
arm_smccc_realm_get_hypervisor_uuid(), that owns a file-static
rsi_host_call buffer (uuid_hc) serialized by a spinlock.

The RSI-specific includes, file-static state and helper are guarded
with CONFIG_ARM64 because <asm/rsi.h> does not exist on 32-bit ARM.

For non-Realm environments, the existing arm_smccc_1_1_invoke() path
is unchanged.
