Add support for querying System Controller firmware application
status. This allows callers to determine whether a given firmware
application has completed boot and post-boot initialization.

This patch is carried here only as a build dependency for this
series; it is authored and under review as part of a separate
get-app-status series and should be dropped/rebased away once that
series lands.

Reiterating previous review comment - based on the users that you had listed earlier who query app status, we will never get to the above condition, so it can be safely dropped. Once you do that, you can drop the status == XE_SYSCTRL_FIRMWARE_APP_NOTSUPP checks in the below (_ready) helpers.

Instead, if you want to retain this check here, then each of the below helpers must be split into _ready() and _supported(). The split versions should check for the specific case. It's the caller's responsibility to handle the cases as needed.
APP_NOTSUPP was added based on Mike's earlier feedback to handle non-SysCtrl platforms.

@Ruhl, Michael J, can xe_vsec perform platform check and only call _fw_ready() on SysCtrl-capable platforms? If so, I'll remove APP_NOTSUPP. Otherwise, do you need separate _supported() and _ready() helpers?
