arch-arm: Split purifyTaggedAddr in two sub-functions
This patch is splitting the purifyTaggedAddr helper in two
by introducing the maskTaggedAddress utility
* The first part computes the top bit of the address (computeAddrTop)
(This is required as the MSBs of a VA could be used to store
tags like in FEAT_Pauth)
* The second part applies some masking to the supplied
address (maskTaggedAddress) depending on the top bit to
purify the VA from the TAG
The motivation of this split will be clear in the next patch:
we want to memoize the expensive computeAddrTop. Memoizing
purifyTaggedAddr is inefficient as the first argument
is the VA of the memory request so multiple memory requests
will allocate multiple entries in the results cache and
memoization will rarely be used.
We will memoize the VA agnostic computeAddrTop instead
