[RFC PATCH 3/6] xen/arm: Add ARM64_HAS_LSE_ATOMICS hwcap



This patch introduces the ARM64_HAS_LSE_ATOMICS hwcap.

While doing this, CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS is added to control whether
the hwcap is actually detected and set at runtime. Without this Kconfig
being set we will always fallback on LL/SC atomics using Armv8.0 exlusive
accesses.

Note this patch does not actually add the ALTERNATIVE() switching based
on the hwcap being detected and set; that comes later in the series.
