Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For
threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM
implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets
cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue
as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to
make forward progress in the abort handler. The TEXASR indicates if a
transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation.
Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for
their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation
and skip the test if so.

Several of the TM tests fail spuriously if CPU 0 is offline, because
they blindly try to affinitise to CPU 0.
Fix them by picking any online CPU and using that instead.

Add TM selftest to check if FP or VEC register values from one process
can leak into another process when both run on the same CPU.
