These functions are intended to support detecting semihosting and falling back gracefully to alternative implementations. The test starts by making semihosting call. SYS_ERRNO is chosen because it should not mutate any state. If this semihosting call results in an exception (rather than being caught by the debugger), then the exception handler should call disable_semihosting() and resume execution after the call.
Ideally, this would just be part of semihosting by default, and not a separate config. However, to reduce space ARM SPL doesn't include exception vectors by default. This means we can't detect if a semihosting call failed unless we enable them. To avoid forcing them to be enabled, we use a separate config option. It might also be possible to try and detect whether a debugger has enabled (by reading HDE from DSCR), but I wasn't able to figure out a way to do this from all ELs.
This patch just introduces the generic code to handle detection. The next patch will implement it for arm64 (but not arm32).

Changes in v3: - Make FALLBACK depend on ARM64 - Reorder Kconfigs to group SEMIHOSTING_FALLBACK after SEMIHOSTING (instead of after SPL_SEMIHOSTING_FALLBACK) - Use SYS_ERRNO instead of SYS_ISERROR, since the latter is not implemented in older QEMUs.
Changes in v2: - New
