[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 11/23] sunxi: A64: do an RMR switch if started in AArch32 mode

The Allwinner A64 SoC starts execution in AArch32 mode, and both
the boot ROM and Allwinner's boot0 keep running in this mode.
So U-Boot gets entered in 32-bit, although we want it to run in AArch64.
By using a "magic" instruction, which happens to be an almost-NOP in
AArch64 and a branch in AArch32, we differentiate between being
entered in 64-bit or 32-bit mode.
If in 64-bit mode, we proceed with the branch to reset, but in 32-bit
mode we trigger an RMR write to bring the core into AArch64/EL3 and
re-enter U-Boot at CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.
This allows a 64-bit U-Boot to be both entered in 32 and 64-bit mode,
so we can use the same start code for the SPL and the U-Boot proper.
We use the existing custom header (boot0.h) functionality, but restrict
the existing boot0 header reservation to the non-SPL build now. A SPL
wouldn't need such header anyway. This allows to have both options
defined and lets us use one for the SPL and the other for U-Boot proper.
