xlat: Add support for EL0 and EL1 mappings
This patch introduces the ability of the xlat tables library to manage
EL0 and EL1 mappings from a higher exception level.
Attributes MT_USER and MT_PRIVILEGED have been added to allow the user
specify the target EL in the translation regime EL1&0.
REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2 macro is introduced to allow creating a
xlat_ctx_t that targets a given translation regime (EL1&0 or EL3).
A new member is added to xlat_ctx_t to represent the translation regime
the xlat_ctx_t manages. The execute_never mask member is removed as it
is computed from existing information.
