bsps/aarch64: Customize EL2/EL3 start support

Make the support for starting in EL2/EL3 customizable.  A boot loader or
the Arm Trusted Firmware should start RTEMS in non-secure EL1 mode.

In start.S, use local labels.

For the aarch64/xilinx-zynqmp the support for starting in EL2/EL3 is
disabled by default.  For the Qemu xlnx-zcu102 machine, the default is
to start in non-secure EL1 mode.  This can be controlled by options, for
example "-machine xlnx-zcu102,secure=on,virtualization=on".
