Change Statistical Profiling Extensions build option handling
It is not possible to detect at compile-time whether support for an optional extension such as SPE should be enabled based on the ARM_ARCH_MINOR build option value. Therefore SPE is now enabled by default. Change-Id: I670db164366aa78a7095de70a0962f7c0328ab7c Signed-off-by: Dimitris Papastamos <dimitris.papastamos@arm.com>
