[lldb][AArch64] Add isAArch64SMEFA64 check to SME testing (#68094)
FEAT_SME_FA64 (smefa64 in Linux cpuinfo) allows the use of the full A64 instruction set while in streaming SVE mode. See https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0616/latest/ for details. This means for example if we want to write to the ffr register during or use floating point registers while in streaming mode, we need this extension. I initially was using QEMU which has it by default, and switched to Arm's FVP which does not. So this change adds a more strict check and converts most of the tests to use that. It would be possible in some cases to avoid the offending instructions but it would be a lot of effort and liable to fail randomly as the C library changes. It is also my assumption that the majority of systems will have smefa64 as QEMU has chosen to have. If I turn out to be wrong, we can make the effort to get the tests working without smefa64. `isAArch64SME` remains for some tests, which are as follows: * `test_aarch64_dynamic_regset_config` merely checks for the presence of a register set, which appears for any SME system not just one with smefa64. * `test_aarch64_dynamic_regset_config_sme_za_disabled` only needs the ZA register and does not enter streaming mode. * `test_sme_not_present` tests for the absence of the SME register set, so must be skipped if any form of SME is present. * Various tests in `TestSVERegisters.py` need to know if SME is present at all to generate an expected SVCR value. Earlier in the callstack something else checked `isAArch64SMEFA64` already. * `TestAArch64LinuxTLSRegisters.py` needs to test the `tpidr2` register if any form of SME is present. msr/mrs instructions are used to do this and are allowed even if smefa64 is not present.
