Frédéric Desbiensandr 16297d7a2a Added a workflow that runs the Cortex-R52 images on the Armv8-R AEM FVP (#688)
* Added a workflow that runs the Cortex-R52 images on the Armv8-R AEM FVP

Nothing in CI executed a single instruction of any ThreadX port. gcc_check
compiles and links -- its own header says it "executes nothing" -- and its
CMake stage covers one R52 configuration, the base FVP example. A change that
assembles cleanly, links cleanly and then hangs on the first context switch
passed every required check.

This workflow builds both supported configurations and runs them on the
Armv8-R AEM FVP, asserting each image's self-reported result. The feature
configuration matters as much as the default one: VFP with the hard float ABI,
FIQ, IRQ nesting and FIQ nesting gate whole assembly blocks that the default
configuration never assembles, and it builds eight images where the default
builds five.

Arm distributes the model free of charge but behind a click-through licence
with no stable unauthenticated URL -- the developer.arm.com permalink forms
all 404 for it -- so the download location is a repository variable rather
than a literal. When it is unset the build lanes still run and still gate the
pull request; only execution is skipped, and it says so in the log and in the
job summary rather than passing quietly.

The image list is read from the generated ninja graph rather than kept in the
workflow. The images are EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL, so a bare build reports "no work to
do", and reading the graph means a target added to CMakeLists.txt cannot
escape the check by nobody remembering to list it here.

The module manager port and the S32Z280 targets are not on dev yet. Their
lanes belong in this workflow when they land, not in a second one.

* Kept the FVP cache honest and stopped ctest passing on an empty suite

Two corrections to the new workflow.

The FVP cache key named the URL and hashed the workflow file. hashFiles()
reads files, so it cannot hash a repository variable, and pointing it at
this workflow keyed the cache on the file's own contents instead. That is
wrong in both directions: repointing FVP_AEMV8R_URL at a different model
kept serving the old one from cache, which is exactly what the comment
claimed the key prevented, and editing anything in this file forced a
needless refetch of a large archive. A small step hashes the URL and the
key uses that, so it now tracks what it names.

ctest reported success when it found nothing to run. Its default is to
pass an empty suite, and the example registers its tests inside both
if(FVP found) and if(Python3_FOUND). Either one going unmet on a runner
would have left this stage green having executed no image at all, which
is the hole the workflow exists to close. --no-tests=error makes an empty
suite a failure.

Verified with the pinned toolchain, Arm GNU 14.3.rel1: both configurations
configure, enumerate and build, and the image lists are the ones claimed.

  default: 5 images  boot_check demo_m2 demo_m3 demo_mpu demo_threadx
  feature: 8 images  the above plus demo_fiq demo_m5 demo_nesting

Also checked that the target enumeration survives the real ninja graph:
the generated graph offers twenty .elf paths, and the filter reduces them
to those eight, dropping the cmake_object_order_depends_target aliases and
the CMakeFiles copies.
