aarch64: Rename ARM_CA53_64_BIT/_SRE to Arm_AARCH64/_SRE (#822)

The Cortex-A53 ports are generic and can be used as a starting point
for other Armv8-A application processors. Therefore, rename
`ARM_CA53_64_BIT` to `Arm_AARCH64` and `ARM_CA53_64_BIT_SRE` to
`Arm_AARCH64_SRE`.

With this renaming, existing projects that use old port, should
migrate to renamed port as follows:

* `ARM_CA53_64_BIT` -> `Arm_AARCH64`
* `ARM_CA53_64_BIT_SRE` -> `Arm_AARCH64_SRE`

# ARM_CA53_64_BIT port
Initial port to support Armv8-A architecture in FreeRTOS kernel was written for
Arm Cortex-A53 processor.
* ARM_CA53_64_BIT
* Memory mapped interace to access Arm GIC registers
This port is generic and can be used as a starting point for other Armv8-A
application processors. Therefore, the port `ARM_CA53_64_BIT` is renamed as
`Arm_AARCH64`. The existing projects that use old port `ARM_CA53_64_BIT`,
should migrate to renamed port `Arm_AARCH64`.
**NOTE**
This port uses memory mapped interace to access Arm GIC registers.

# Armv8-A architecture support
The Armv8-A architecture introduces the ability to use 64-bit and 32-bit
Execution states, known as AArch64 and AArch32 respectively. The AArch64
Execution state supports the A64 instruction set. It holds addresses in 64-bit
registers and allows instructions in the base instruction set to use 64-bit
registers for their processing.
The AArch32 Execution state is a 32-bit Execution state that preserves
backwards compatibility with the Armv7-A architecture, enhancing that profile
so that it can support some features included in the AArch64 state. It supports
the T32 and A32 instruction sets. Follow the
[link](https://developer.arm.com/Architectures/A-Profile%20Architecture)
for more information.
## Arm_AARCH64 port
This port adds support for Armv8-A architecture AArch64 execution state.
This port is generic and can be used as a starting point for Armv8-A
application processors.
