Currently, we have not implemented support on 32-bit ARM for managing
permission bits in the page tables. Since the new DXE page protection
for PE/COFF images may invoke EFI_CPU_ARCH_PROTOCOL.SetMemoryAttributes()
with only permission attributes set, let's simply ignore those for now.

The single user of EfiAttributeToArmAttribute () is the protocol
method EFI_CPU_ARCH_PROTOCOL.SetMemoryAttributes(), which uses the
return value to compare against the ARM attributes of an existing mapping,
to infer whether it is actually necessary to change anything, or whether
the requested update is redundant. This saves some cache and TLB
maintenance on 32-bit ARM systems that use uncached translation tables.
However, EFI_CPU_ARCH_PROTOCOL.SetMemoryAttributes() may be invoked with
only permission bits set, in which case the implied requested action is to
update the permissions of the region without modifying the cacheability
attributes. This is currently not possible, because
EfiAttributeToArmAttribute () ASSERT()s [on AArch64] on Attributes arguments
that lack a cacheability bit.
So let's simply return TT_ATTR_INDX_MASK (AArch64) or
TT_DESCRIPTOR_SECTION_TYPE_FAULT (ARM) in these cases (or'ed with the
appropriate permission bits). This way, the return value is equally
suitable for checking whether the attributes need to be modified, but
in a way that accommodates the use without a cacheability bit set.

Current Arm CpuDxe driver uses EFI_MEMORY_WP for write protection,
according to UEFI spec, we should use EFI_MEMORY_RO for write protection.
The EFI_MEMORY_WP is the cache attribute instead of memory attribute.

During Mmu initialization in the CpuDxe, for a page table any bits set
in the 'NextSectionAttributes' are garbage and were set from bits that
are actually part of the pagetable address. We clear it out to zero
so that the SyncCacheConfigPage will use the page attributes instead
of trying to convert the (bogus) section attributes into page
attributes.

The CLANG assembler does not support the legacy, non-unified assembler syntax,
i.e., it does not support the reordering of the condition suffixes with the
increment/decrement before/after or byte/word suffixes, and it does not
recognize the 'empty descending' (ED) suffix at all. So move to the unified
syntax, and replace 'empty descending' with 'decrement after' or 'increment
before' as appropriate.

Since we do not support anything below ARMv7, let's promote the ARMv6
exception handling code in CpuDxe to the only version we provide for
ARM. This means we can drop the unused ARMv4 version.
