[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.
