Currently, we always invalidate the TLBs entirely after making
any modification to the page tables. Now that we have introduced
strict memory permissions in quite a number of places, such
modifications occur much more often, and it is better for performance
to flush only those TLB entries that are actually affected by
the changes.
At the same time, relax some system wide data synchronization barriers
to non-shared. When running in UEFI, we don't share virtual address
translations with other masters, unless we are running under virt, but
in that case, the host will upgrade them as appropriate (by setting
an override at EL2)

We no longer make use of the ArmMmuLib 'feature' to create aliased
memory ranges with mismatched attributes, and in fact, it was only
wired up in the ARM version to begin with.
So remove the VirtualMask argument from ArmSetMemoryAttributes()'s
prototype, and remove the dead code that referred to it.

... where it belongs, since AARCH64 already keeps it there, and
non DXE users of ArmMmuLib (such as DxeIpl, for the non-executable
stack) may need its functionality as well.
While at it, rename SetMemoryAttributes to ArmSetMemoryAttributes,
and make any functions that are not exported STATIC. Also, replace
an explicit gBS->AllocatePages() call [which is DXE specific] with
MemoryAllocationLib::AllocatePages().

Introduce the library class ArmMmuLib, which encapsulates the functionality
to set up and modify page table entries.
