The global gArmRelocateVectorTable is a build time constant, but due to
its external linkage and lack of constness, the compiler does not see that.
So turn it into a static boolean, and at the same time, make the function
CopyExceptionHandlers() (which is only called if gArmRelocateVectorTable is
set) static as well, so that the compiler can eliminate it completely if
we are using the vector table in place.

Introduce ARM and AArch64 instances of the CpuExceptionHandlerLib which
provides exception handling and registration of handlers regardless of
execution phase.
Two variants of the ArmExceptionLib are provided: one where exception
handlers reside within the module (meeting appropriate architectural
alignment requirements for the vector table) and another one that will
relocate a copy of thee xception handlers to an address specified by
PcdCpuVectorBaseAddress. The ArmRelocateExceptionLib is intended for use
in cases where ArmExceptionLib is too large for the application
(uncompressed XIP images) as driven by the vector table alignment padding.
The AArch64 build of this library supports execution at EL1, EL2, and EL3
exception levels.
Tested on ARM, and AArch64 with SEC, DXE Core, and CpuDxe modules.
