    Introduce the Firmware CONfiguration Framework (fconf).
    
    The fconf is an abstraction layer for platform specific data, allowing
    a "property" to be queried and a value retrieved without the requesting
    entity knowing what backing store is being used to hold the data.
    
    The default backing store used is C structure. If another backing store
    has to be used, the platform integrator needs to provide a "populate()"
    function to fill the corresponding C structure.
    The "populate()" function must be registered to the fconf framework with
    the "FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR()". This ensures that the function would
    be called inside the "fconf_populate()" function.
    
    A two level macro is used as getter:
    - the first macro takes 3 parameters and converts it to a function
      call: FCONF_GET_PROPERTY(a,b,c) -> a__b_getter(c).
    - the second level defines a__b_getter(c) to the matching C structure,
      variable, array, function, etc..
    
    Ex: Get a Chain of trust property:
        1) FCONF_GET_PROPERY(tbbr, cot, BL2_id) -> tbbr__cot_getter(BL2_id)
        2) tbbr__cot_getter(BL2_id) -> cot_desc_ptr[BL2_id]
