target/cortex_a: fix memory leak of register cache

There is no method to free the register cache, allocated in
armv4_5, so we get a memory leak.
Issue identified by valgrind.

Implement the method arm_free_reg_cache() and call it in cortex_a
deinit and to exit for error during arm_dpm_setup().
Tested on dual cortex-A stm32mp15x.
This change is inspired from similar fix in commit b01b5fe13a67
("armv7m: Fix memory leak in register caching.").

The same allocation is also used by target types "arm7tdmi",
"arm9tdmi", "arm11" and "xscale" but they all lack the deinit
method and I do not have relevant HW to test the fix. For such
reasons they are not addressed in this patch.
