This is v2 of this series attempting at making the handling of
features that are disabled at compile time a bit less awkward for
non-userspace consumers of the sanitised feature bits.
A few things have changed, thanks to Fuad and Suzuki spending time on
reviewing this, but the overall behaviour is the same.
* From v1 [1]:
- Mark ALL_HIDDEN and HIGHER_SAFE as incompatible
- Don't update a feature that is ALL_HIDDEN (or overridden) on the
secondary boot path
- Reduce the size of struct arm64_ftr_bits
- Add a helper for setting a field to its safe value
