Description
Per https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/move_armlib_to_baselib/118541649, move ArmLib to MdePkg, following its header. As discussed in that thread a longer term plan for this type of architectural support will be considered after this move.
This also performs a small cleanup on the library's dependencies.
Note: The move from ArmLib to MdePkg was done as one commit because I think it is a lot cleaner to review and see that it was a move with no file changes instead of the copy and having to tell if anything changed. If preferred, I can split the first commit into many, adding to MdePkg, moving the other packages over, and then dropping from ArmPkg.
