Add default crash console code to hook up to new console API



This patch expands the weak stubs for the plat_crash_console_xxx
functions in common platform code to use the new console API for crash
output. This should make crash console output "just work" for most cases
without the need for the platform to explicitly set up a crash console.
For cases where the normal console framework doesn't work (e.g. very
early crashes, before the platform can register any consoles), platforms
are still able to override the functions just like before.

This feature requires the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag to work.
For builds which don't have it set, this patch has no practical effect.

Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
-----------------------------------
NOTE: This section assumes that your platform is enabling the MULTI_CONSOLE_API
flag in its platform.mk. Not using this flag is deprecated for new platforms.
BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. It requires that a
console is designated as the crash console by the platform which will be used to
print the register dump.
of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. By default, the
definitions in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform\_helpers.S`` will cause the crash
output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
The following functions must be implemented by the platform if it wants crash
reporting mechanism in BL31. The functions are implemented in assembly so that
they can be invoked without a C Runtime stack.
In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
more explicitly. For these, the following functions can be overridden by
platform code. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack.

If you are trying to debug crashes before the console driver would normally get
registered, you can use this to register a driver from assembly with hardcoded
parameters. For example, you could register the 16550 driver like this:
