PATCH v3 1/2 Errata/ARM57: Add basic constructs to handle and apply A57 specific erratas

This patch adds basic constructs in the ARMv8 u-boot code to handle and apply Cortex-A57 specific erratas.

As and example, the framework showcases how erratas 833069, 826974 and 828024 can be handled and applied.

Later on this framework can be extended to include other erratas.

---
Changes from v2:
- Addressed comments regarding incorrect handling of bl and ret sequences.
- Reorganized the code to be more readable.

Changes from v1:
- Addressed Yorks' comments about x29 corruption.

Instead of branching forward here, have the a57 code branch back at the end.

Why do you AND with 0xfff for a57 but not a53?

Where else do you expect to use these macros?
