On some systems, the AMU counters might reset to 0 when a CPU
powerdown happens.  This behaviour conflicts with the intended
use-case of AMU as lower ELs are only expected to see non-decreasing
counter values.

Add some AMU helper functions to allow configuring, reading and
writing of the Group 0 and Group 1 counters.  Documentation for these
helpers will come in a separate patch.

A new platform macro `PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_COUNTERS_MASK` controls which
group 1 counters should be enabled. The maximum number of group 1
counters supported by AMUv1 is 16 so the mask can be at most 0xffff.
If the platform does not define this mask, no group 1 counters are
enabled.

A related platform macro `PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_NR_COUNTERS` is used by
generic code to allocate an array to save and restore the counters on
CPU suspend.

The `ENABLE_AMU` build option can be used to enable the
architecturally defined AMU counters.  At present, there is no support
for the auxiliary counter group.
