Arm-Cortex-R82: Add MPU support (#1347)
* arm-cortex-r82: Add MPU support

This commit introduces support for the Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
to the ARM Cortex-R82 port. The MPU enhances system security
by allowing the definition of memory regions with specific access
permissions. The following changes have been made:
- Added MPU configuration functions in `port.c` to set up memory
  regions and their attributes.
- Updated `portASM.S` to include assembly routines for MPU
  and context switching with MPU support.
- Created `mpu_wrappers_v2_asm.c` to provide assembly wrappers for
  MPU operations.
- Updated `portmacro.h` to include MPU-related macros and definitions.
- Modified `task.h` to include MPU-related task attributes.
- Updated `CMakeLists.txt` to include the new MPU source file.
- Enhanced the `README.md` with instructions on MPU configuration.

* cortex-r82: Minor code improvements

This commit includes minor code improvements to enhance readability
and maintainability of the Cortex-R82 port files. Changes include
refactoring variable names, optimizing comments, and improving code
structure without altering functionality.

* tasks: Disable stack-depth check if MPU wrappers is set

This stack-depth check should not be performed for ports
where portUSING_MPU_WRAPPERS is set to 1.
In this case, pxTopOfStack and pxNewTCB->pxTopOfStack reside
in different memory regions: pxTopOfStack is in unprivileged SRAM,
while pxNewTCB->pxTopOfStack is in privileged SRAM.
This is because pxPortInitialiseStack() returns the address of
`ullContext` array rather than the decremented pxTopOfStack,
as is done in the non-MPU case.
Consequently, this check is not valid in this scenario.

Each real time kernel port consists of three files that contain the core kernel
components and are common to every port, and one or more files that are
specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler.


+ The FreeRTOS/Source/Portable/MemMang directory contains the five sample
memory allocators as described on the https://www.FreeRTOS.org WEB site.

+ The other directories each contain files specific to a particular
microcontroller or compiler, where the directory name denotes the compiler
specific files the directory contains.



For example, if you are interested in the [compiler] port for the [architecture]
microcontroller, then the port specific files are contained in
FreeRTOS/Source/Portable/[compiler]/[architecture] directory.  If this is the
only port you are interested in then all the other directories can be
ignored.
