arm64/sve: Kconfig update and conditional compilation support
This patch adds CONFIG_ARM64_SVE to control building of SVE support into the kernel, and adds a stub predicate system_supports_sve() to control conditional compilation and runtime SVE support. system_supports_sve() just returns false for now: it will be replaced with a non-trivial implementation in a later patch, once SVE support is complete enough to be enabled safely.

+ help
+ The Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is an extension to the AArch64
+ execution state which complements and extends the SIMD functionality
+ of the base architecture to support much larger vectors and to enable
+ additional vectorisation opportunities.
+
+ To enable use of this extension on CPUs that implement it, say Y.
