lib: el3_runtime: initialise actlr_el1 to hardware defaults

The context management library initialises the CPU context for the
secure/non-secure worlds to zero. This leads to zeros being stored
to the actual registers when we restore the CPU context, during a
world switch. Denver CPUs dont expect zero to be written to the
implementation defined, actlr_el1 register, at any point of time.
Writing a zero to some fields of this register, results in an
UNDEFINED exception.

This patch bases the context actlr_el1 value on the actual hardware
register, to maintain parity with the expected settings
