arm64: kconfig: move emulation option under kernel features
Having the instruction emulation submenu underneath "platform selection" is a great way to hide options we don't want people to use, but somewhat confusing when you stumble across it there. Move the menuconfig option underneath "kernel features", where it makes a bit more sense. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
