    arm64: Add support for transition library
    
    Transition library provides the following functionalities:
    1) Setup the environment for switching to any particular EL and jump to the
    loaded program at that EL. In short "Execute program X at exception level Y
    using the state Z"
    2) Provides routines for exception entry and exception exit that can be used by
    any program to implement exception handling. The only routine required by the
    program would be exc_dispatch which handles the exception in its own required
    way and returns by making a call to exc_exit. On exc_exit, the transition
    library unwinds the whole stack by popping out the saved state of xregs
