This patch adds a new include/export/ directory meant for inclusion in third-party code. This is useful for cases where third-party code needs to interact with TF-A interfaces and data structures (such as a custom BL2-implementation like coreboot handing off to BL31). Directly including headers from the TF-A repository avoids having to duplicate all these definitions (and risk them going stale), but with the current header structure this is not possible because handoff API definitions are too deeply intertwined with other TF code/headers and chain-include other headers that will not be available in the other environment. The new approach aims to solve this by separating only the parts that are really needed into these special headers that are self-contained and will not chain-include other (non-export) headers. TF-A code should never include them directly but should instead always include the respective wrapper header, which will include the required prerequisites (like <stdint.h>) before including the export header. Third-party code can include the export headers via its own wrappers that make sure the necessary definitions are available in whatever way that environment can provide them.
