Some platforms can customize the PTE uffd_wp bit and make it unavailable
even if the architecture allows providing the PTE resource.
This patch adds a macro API which allows architectures to define
their specific ones for checking if the PTE uffd_wp bit is available.

Same comment as for the other patch: make the CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP part of the pte_uffd_wp_available() check and better call it "pgtable_uffd_wp_" ... available/supported.
