target-arm: Add utility function for checking AA32/64 state of an EL
There are various situations where we need to behave differently depending on whether a given exception level is in AArch64 or AArch32 state. The state of the current exception level is stored in env->aarch64, but there's no equivalent guest-visible architected state bits for the status of the exception levels "above" the current one which may still affect execution. At the moment we only support EL1 (ie no EL2 or EL3) and insist that AArch64 capable CPUs run with EL1 in AArch64 state, but these may change in the future, so abstract out the "what state is this?" check into a utility function which can be enhanced later if necessary.
