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)

This currently isn't needed by anything in the edk2 tree but
it's useful for externally maintained platforms which have
to set this register e.g. to disable alignment aborts.

For historical reasons, the files under ArmLib are split up into 'common'
files under Common/, containing common C files as well as AArch64 and Arm
specific asm files, and ArmV7 and AArch64 files under ArmV7/ and AArch64/,
respectively. This presumably dates back to the time when ArmLib supported
different revisions of the 32-bit architecture (i.e., pre-V7)
Since the PI spec requires V7 or later, we can simplify this to Arm/ and
AArch64, which aligns ArmLib with the majority of other modules that carry
ARM or AArch64 specific code.
So move the files around so that shared files live at the same level as
ArmBaseLib.inf, and ARM/AArch64 specific files live in Arm/ or AArch64/,
respectively.
