From: Tao Tang <tangtao1634@phytium.com.cn>

The ARMSecuritySpace enum and its related helpers were defined in the
target-specific header target/arm/cpu.h. This prevented common,
target-agnostic code like the SMMU model from using these definitions
without triggering "cpu.h included from common code" errors.

To resolve this, this commit introduces a new, lightweight header,
include/hw/arm/arm-security.h, which is safe for inclusion by common
code.

The following change was made:

- The ARMSecuritySpace enum and the arm_space_is_secure() and
arm_secure_to_space() helpers have been moved from target/arm/cpu.h
to the new hw/arm/arm-security.h header.

This refactoring decouples the security state definitions from the core
CPU implementation, allowing common hardware models to correctly handle
security states without pulling in heavyweight, target-specific headers.
