MLIA-409 Create new Cortex-A device skeleton

* Add Cortex-A device skeleton
* Add unit tests for the Cortex-A device skeleton
* Update profiles.json by adding the new "cortex-a" profile
* Add new cortex-a factory to the get_advisor method in api.py
* Disable performance and optimization commands for the cortex-a
  profile.
* Update trademarks section in README.md
* Update pyproject.toml to not run similarity check in imports
