Problem
Any attempt to write to UC_ARM_REG_C1_C0_2 (The ARM Coprocessor Access Control Register) fails with UC_ERR_ARG.
The specific switch case handling writes to this register was commented out since 2021, but by default, the error code was initialized to UC_REG_OK, so there was no error returned until #1835, where this was changed to be initialized to UC_REG_ERR_ARG. As a result, any write to UC_ARM_REG_C1_C0_2 returned an error.
Solution
In this PR, I've uncommented and properly implement the CPACR register write with appropriate size checking. I've also added a unit test to verify that writes no longer fail - before this PR, the test does indeed fail.
