xen/arm: ffa: Introduce VM to VM support

Create a CONFIG_FFA_VM_TO_VM parameter to activate FFA communication
between VMs.
When activated list VMs in the system with FF-A support in part_info_get.

When VM to VM is activated, Xen will be tainted as Insecure and a
message is displayed to the user during the boot as there is no
filtering of VMs in FF-A so any VM can communicate or see any other VM
in the system.

WARNING: There is no filtering for now and all VMs are listed !!

This patch is reorganizing the ffa_ctx structure to make clear which
lock is protecting what parts.

This patch is introducing a chain list of the ffa_ctx with a FFA Version
negotiated allowing to create the partinfo results for VMs in parallel
by using rwlock which only ensure addition/removal of entries are
protected.

This option enables to use FF-A between VMs.
This is experimental and there is no access control so any
guest can communicate with any other guest.
If unsure, say N.
