Uncontainable errors are the most severe form of errors, which typically
mean that the system state can't be trusted any more. This further means
that normal error recovery process can't be followed, and an orderly
shutdown of the system is often desirable.
This patch allows for the platform to define a handler for Uncontainable
errors received. Due to the nature of Uncontainable error, the handler
is expected to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system, and therefore
is not expected to return. A default implementation is added which falls
back to platform unhandled exception.
Also fix ras_arch.h header guards.

The ARMv8 RAS Extensions introduced Standard Error Records which are a
set of standard registers through which:
- Platform can configure RAS node policy; e.g., notification
mechanism;
- RAS nodes can record and expose error information for error handling
agents.
Standard Error Records can either be accessed via. memory-mapped
or System registers. This patch adds helper functions to access
registers and fields within an error record.
