arm64: Make SPSR exception masking on EL2 transition explicit
The configuration of SPSR bits that mask processor exceptions is kinda oddly hidden as an implict part of the transition() function right now. It would be odd but not impossible for programs to want to be entered with enabled exceptions, so let's move these bits to be explicitly set by the caller like the rest of SPSR instead.
Also clear up some macro names. The SPSR[I] bit is currently defined as SPSR_IRQ_ENABLE, which is particularly unfortunate since that bit actually *disables* (masks) interrupts. The fact that there is an additional SPSR_IRQ_MASK definition with the same value but a different purpose doesn't really help. There's rarely a point to have all three of xxx_SHIFT, xxx_MASK and xxx_VALUE macros for single-bit fields, so simplify this to a single definition per bit. (Other macros in lib_helpers.h should probably also be overhauled to conform, but I want to wait and see how many of them really stay relevant after upcoming changes first.)
