xen/arm: traps: Emulate ICC_SRE_EL1 as RAZ/WI

Recent Linux kernel (4.4 and onwards [1]) is checking whether it is possible
to enable sysreg access (ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE) when the ID register
(ID_AA64PRF0_EL1.GIC) is reporting the presence of the sysreg interface.

When the guest has been configured to use GICv2, the hypervisor will
disable sysreg access for this vm (via ICC_SRE_EL2.Enable) and therefore
access to system register such as ICC_SRE_EL1 are trapped in EL2.

However, ICC_SRE_EL1 is not emulated by the hypervisor. This means that
Linux will crash as soon as it is trying to access ICC_SRE_EL1.

To solve this problem, Xen can implement ICC_SRE_EL1 as read-as-zero
write-ignore. The emulation will only be used when sysreg are disabled
for EL1.
