    Remove variables from .data section · 625de1d4

    Update code base to remove variables from the .data section,
    mainly by using const static data where possible and adding
    the const specifier as required. Most changes are to the IO
    subsystem, including the framework APIs. The FVP power
    management code is also affected.
    
    Delay initialization of the global static variable,
    next_image_type in bl31_main.c, until it is realy needed.
    Doing this moves the variable from the .data to the .bss
    section.
    
    Also review the IO interface for inconsistencies, using
    uintptr_t where possible instead of void *. Remove the
    io_handle and io_dev_handle typedefs, which were
    unnecessary, replacing instances with uintptr_t.
    
    Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#107.
