arm: update hint instruction decoding to match ARMv8.5
This fixes:
- unallocated hints that have since been allocated
- unallocated and unimplemented hint instructions being treated as
Unknown instead of the correct NOP
- missing encoding for DBG on A32
Unallocated and unimplemented hints give a warning if executed.
The most important fix was for the CSDB Spectre mitigation
instruction, which was added recently and previously unallocated and
treated as Unknown.
The Linux kernel v4.18 ARMv7 uses CSDB it and boot would
fail with "undefined instruction" since Linux commit
