arm64: Document requirements for fine grained traps at boot

The arm64 FEAT_FGT extension introduces a set of traps to EL2 for accesses
to small sets of registers and instructions from EL1 and EL0, access to
which is controlled by EL3.  Require access to it so that it is
available to us in future and so that we can ensure these traps are
disabled during boot.

having 0b1 set for the corresponding bit for each of the auxiliary
counters present.
For CPUs with the Fine Grained Traps (FEAT_FGT) extension present:
- If EL3 is present and the kernel is entered at EL2:
- SCR_EL3.FGTEn (bit 27) must be initialised to 0b1.
The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs. All CPUs must
enter the kernel in the same exception level.
