Improve FWU documentation



 - Clarify the documentation of the 'FWU_SMC_IMAGE_COPY' SMC in the
   Firmware Update guide. Also extend the list of pre-conditions to
   include the additional input validation implemented by previous
   patches.

 - Improve documentation of bl1_plat_mem_check() in the porting
   guide. It now specifies that the generic FWU code protects
   bl1_plat_mem_check() from integer overflows resulting from
   the addition of the base address and size passed in arguments.

This SMC copies the secure image indicated by `image_id` into secure memory. The
image may be copied in a single block or multiple blocks. In either case, the
total size of the image must be provided in `image_size` when invoking this SMC
the first time for each image. The `image_addr` and `block_size` specify the
source memory block to copy from. If `block_size` >= the size of the remaining
image to copy, then BL1 completes the copy operation and sets the image state
to COPIED. If there is still more to copy, BL1 sets the image state to COPYING.
This SMC copies the secure image indicated by `image_id` from non-secure memory
to secure memory for later authentication. The image may be copied in a single
block or multiple blocks. In either case, the total size of the image must be
provided in `image_size` when invoking this SMC for the first time for each
image; it is ignored in subsequent calls (if any) for the same image.
The `image_addr` and `block_size` specify the source memory block to copy from.
The destination address is provided by the platform code.
If `block_size` is greater than the amount of remaining bytes to copy for this
image then the former is truncated to the latter. The copy operation is then
considered as complete and the FWU state machine transitions to the "COPIED"
state. If there is still more to copy, the FWU state machine stays in or
transitions to the COPYING state (depending on the previous state).
When using multiple blocks, the source blocks do not necessarily need to be in
contiguous memory.
BL1 returns from exception to the normal world caller.
Once the SMC is handled, BL1 returns from exception to the normal world caller.

BL1 calls this function while handling FWU copy and authenticate SMCs. The
platform must ensure that the provided `mem_base` and `mem_size` are mapped into
BL1, and that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory
region as indicated by the security state of the `flags` argument.
BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
region of memory identified by `mem_base` and `mem_size` is mapped in BL1, and
that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
indicated by the security state of the `flags` argument.
This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
`mem_base` and `mem_size` fits into a `uintptr_t` type variable and does not
overflow.
This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
